The Princess of Wales, Catherine, is still going through preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. At 42, she started her treatment in late February.
Princess Catherine is feeling better.
Princess Catherine is planning to reconnect with the public after facing a tough battle with cancer. She is “feeling much stronger and healthier,” and she’s ready to make her return to royal duties. For those who don’t know, the future Queen of England was diagnosed with cancer in March 2024. Since then, she has followed her doctors’ advice and stayed out of the public eye.
But now, as a loving mother of three, she’s eager to reconnect with the public, take on more engagements, and get back to her royal responsibilities. A source shared that Catherine is excited to move away from the focus on medical treatments and doctors’ visits.

Princess Catherine is still undergoing chemotherapy.
Kensington Palace has provided a significant update on Prince William’s travel plans to Llanelli, South Wales. It’s important to note that Catherine won’t be joining her husband on this trip because she is still undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
Princess Catherine was recently spotted looking great during a visit to a church.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, made one more public appearance on August 25 since being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. She was seen attending Crathie Kirk, a small church in Scotland, accompanied by her husband, Prince William, as well as King Charles III and Queen Camilla. William drove the car, smiling as he conversed with his wife, and chose a navy blue suit for the occasion. The royal family typically spends their summers at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Prior to this, Catherine was last seen in public in July at the Wimbledon men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Catherine has been gradually returning to public life at a slow pace following the news of her health challenges.
Here’s what we know about her journey through chemotherapy.
In a heartfelt message before her appearance at Trooping the Colour on June 15, the Princess of Wales shared that her treatment is making “good progress.” However, she openly admitted that she’s having “good days and bad days.” While she’s been working from home, she reminded everyone that she’s “not out of the woods yet.”
Princess Catherine expressed hope of attending a few public events over the summer, but she urged people not to see these as her return to full public life. The Princess and her family—Prince William and their three children—have spent some of their summer break at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, where they were seen enjoying the Bear Grylls’ Go Wild festival.
In a statement released on June 14, Kensington Palace also shared a new photo of Princess Catherine, showing her leaning against a tree in Windsor Park. Alongside the photo, she expressed her gratitude for all the kind messages of support and encouragement she’s received over the last few months. These messages, she said, have made a world of difference for both her and William, helping them through the toughest times.
Kate candidly described her experience with chemotherapy, saying that she feels weak, tired, and has to listen to her body’s need for rest. But on the good days, when she feels stronger, she cherishes the time spent engaging in school life, enjoying personal activities that bring her energy and positivity, and doing a bit of work from home.
Princess Catherine has not yet returned to a full schedule of public engagements. Any future appearances will be carefully decided based on how she’s feeling at the time. There is no set timeline for her return to full-time duties, as she is being given the time she needs to rest and recover.
Earlier Princess Catherine debuted a new ring, and here’s the special meaning behind it.

They Held a Secret Wedding behind My Back
My wedding day was supposed to be legendary. I mean, you can picture it: a huge barn, 250 guests, and every detail planned down to the final candle, all arranged by my family.
But when the big day arrived, I was standing there in my gown, staring at a room with only 30 guests.
As if that wasn’t strange enough, I soon realized that it wasn’t just my distant cousins who’d flaked. No. My parents, my bridesmaids, and even my fiancé were nowhere to be seen.

I pulled out my phone, trying to reach anyone who’d answer. First, my mom. Then Ethan, my fiancé. Then bridesmaids, cousins, and even my uncle Rob.
Dead silence. Until, finally, one of my bridesmaids picked up.
“Where is everyone, Celia?” I demanded, panicked and half out of my mind. “What’s going on? If this is a prank, it’s not the least bit funny!”

Her voice was cold. Celia was Ethan’s cousin and when I needed one more bridesmaid to match the number of groomsmen, he suggested her.
“Lose my number, you has-been woman,” she spat. “Nobody is waiting for you here.”
I froze.
“What do you mean? Celia! What… ceremony are you at? I’m standing alone at the entrance to the barn!”
There was a pause, the air growing thick.

“Oh, so you don’t know?” she laughed dryly. “Here, I’ll put your mom on. She’ll explain it to you.”
I could hear a rustling on the other end, and then my mom’s voice came on, casual, like she was calling me about weekly brunch plans.
“Didn’t you get my message this morning?” she asked.

“What message? Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you guys doing this to me?” I asked, the tears close to falling down my face.
My mother sighed like I was the one causing the problems.
“Well,” she began, and I could practically hear the smugness in her voice. “Look, Amy. We just thought that Ethan would be better off with your cousin. And well, she’s pregnant.”

Her words hit me like a cheap shot in a fight.
“What? Which cousin? What are you talking about?”
“Ashley, Amy,” my mother said. “She’s expecting Ethan’s baby. And we all thought that they’d make a better match than you and him, anyway. So we set up a ceremony this morning. They’re a married couple now. A married couple expecting their baby together.”

I stood there, gripping my phone so hard that my knuckles turned white.
“So, the wedding that I’m at…” I said slowly, feeling the words cut my throat. “It’s just a cover? Or a prank? Did you enjoy hurting me?”
“Sweetheart, you’re young. You’ll get over it,” my mother replied, her tone detached. “Family has to make difficult decisions sometimes. Just… go back in there and wrap things up. Maybe you’ll get a refund on the food.”

I dropped my phone, my head spinning. This couldn’t be real. I looked around at the guests who had shown up, people who hadn’t abandoned me for some twisted, family-approved plot.
I took a shaky breath, blinked back tears, and did the only thing I could think of.
Stepping to the front of the barn, I raised my voice.

“Hi everyone,” I started, forcing a smile. “Thank you for coming. I know you’re all wondering where everyone else is. Well… so am I.”
A few confused laughs rippled through the room, and I took a deep breath. I noticed that the guests present were mainly mine and Ethan’s colleagues from work. Of course, they hadn’t been told the change of plans.
“The truth is, my family isn’t here because they decided that I wasn’t the one who should be getting married today.”

I sighed.
“Apparently, they had a wedding for my fiancé and my cousin this morning. They’re a married couple expecting their baby together,” I said, echoing my mother’s words.
Gasps and murmurs filled the space. A friend in the front row covered her mouth, her eyes wide.

“Thank you for being here,” I said, looking around the shocked faces. “I don’t know how to make sense of this yet, but I’m so grateful to each of you.”
I gave them all a nod, turned, and walked out of the barn.
It’s been years since that day. I moved far away, cut all ties, and started over. Sometimes people ask why I don’t speak to my family, but I just smile and say they’re better off without me.
They can all go to hell.

My SIL Decided to Ruin My Wedding Because I’m Not Good Enough for Her Brother
I’d heard so much about Colin’s sister, Meredith. He described her as strong-willed and fun, someone he shared a deep connection with.
So, when she finally flew in for our wedding, I was excited to meet her. I’d hoped for a warm start, but nothing prepared me for what happened instead.

When I arrived home, I could hear laughter coming from the living room. As I walked in, I found Colin and Meredith on the couch, laughing as he tickled her. It seemed playful, but something felt off.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a story about inappropriate family relations or anything of the sort. Meredith and Colin were just that close.
“Hey,” I called out.

But there was no answer. I tried again, louder this time.
“Hey!”
Still, no response.
Finally, fed up, I raised my voice to my best kindergarten teacher’s voice.
“Colin!”

They stopped laughing, and Meredith gave me a dirty look.
“Jeez, no need to shout,” she said.
Colin jumped up, looking surprised.
“Alexis! Honey, I didn’t hear you come in,” he said. He hugged me, but I could barely respond.

“You two seemed pretty busy,” I said, forcing a smile.
Meredith laughed.
“He’s always been like this with me,” she said. “Tickling has always been a family thing. We just love hearing each other laugh.”
Trying to ignore the weird vibe, I reached to hug her.

“Meredith, I’m so happy to finally meet you!” I said.
She hugged me back, but coldly, like touching me was taboo.
“Well, Colin hasn’t told me much about you,” she said.
“Colin hasn’t?” Colin repeated, frowning. “That’s not true, Mer. I’ve told you plenty about Alexis.”

She shrugged.
“Why didn’t you come to the airport with him?” she asked, her tone sharp and reprimanding.
“I was at work; I couldn’t leave,” I explained, feeling uncomfortable at this point.
Meredith raised an eyebrow.
“Well, I would have taken the day off if my future sister-in-law were visiting and I was meeting her for the first time.”

“If I could have, I would have,” I replied, keeping my voice steady.
During dinner, I tried to join in, but Meredith kept steering the conversation to memories only they shared. Every time I spoke, they’d just move on as if I hadn’t said anything.
Instead of trying anymore, I twisted my engagement ring around my finger. I mentally went through wedding plans, reminding myself I needed to decide on the final floral arrangements. And the final design of the wedding cake.

I also needed to choose the song I wanted to walk down the aisle. Suddenly, the list seemed too long and tiring…
After dinner, Colin stood to help clear the table.
“Wow, your future wife can’t even handle the dishes herself?” Meredith muttered, glaring at me.
“Mer, I don’t mind helping,” he replied, shrugging.
She just smirked.

“Well, I don’t know how things go down here, but I wouldn’t let my fiancé do ‘women’s work’ like this. But it’s your life, Colin.”
She turned around, leaving her plate for Colin to pick up anyway.
“And don’t be long, Colin,” she said. “I’ll be waiting for our movie marathon. You and me, just like old times.”
I felt my patience snap in half.

“What was all that about?” I asked Colin when she was gone, probably already making herself comfortable in his bedroom.
“Oh,” he said, holding a dirty pot. “I forgot to tell you, Mer is doing a movie marathon with me tonight. And I wanted to do it in my bedroom because my back and the couch are just not friends.”
“And where am I supposed to sleep?” I asked.
“You can sleep in the guest room,” he replied calmly.

“Why doesn’t she sleep in the guest room?” I demanded.
“Come on, Alexis,” he sighed. “There’s no TV in the guest room. And it’s just one night, honey.”
“Fine, but only for tonight.”
The next morning, after a sleepless night, I made pancakes, Colin’s favorite. Meredith strolled in, watching me with a smirk.

“What are you making?” she asked.
“Chocolate chip pancakes. Colin’s favorite,” I replied stiffly.
She scoffed loudly as she put the kettle on.
“Colin likes pancakes with bacon, Alexis,” she said as if I was stupid. “I know my brother.”

“Maybe when you were kids,” I said. “But now he likes chocolate chips.”
“Colin!” she suddenly called out. “What kind of pancakes do you like better? Chocolate chip or plain buttermilk with bacon on the side?”
“Bacon, I guess,” he answered quickly.
I felt my heart sink.
“But I make you chocolate chip pancakes all the time,” I said.

“Yeah, but honey, they’re not the same as Meredith’s.”
“Told you,” she said, satisfaction dripping from her voice.
I set down the spatula.
“Fine, let Meredith make your breakfast,” I said.

Later, I overheard their conversation.
“Your fiancé isn’t good enough for you, Colin. You deserve better, and you know it.”
“You’re right,” Colin replied. “I’ll talk to her.”
Furious, I marched into the living room.

“I’ve had enough of this nonsense,” I said. “If you’re choosing to side with her over me, then you can have her, Colin.”
I threw my engagement ring at him, hearing it bounce off him and onto the floor.
I turned on my heel, my mind was made up. I was done. And like that, my wedding dreams were over before they really began.

Man Finds Out about His Bride’s Betrayal – He Goes to the Altar with a Remote Control in His Hands
As my brother Liam’s wedding approached, excitement buzzed through the air. Liam, notorious for his pranks, hinted at a huge surprise for the big day, keeping us all on edge.
He and Denise had been together for years, and when she asked me to be a bridesmaid, it felt right.
Denise was like family.
“Daphne, I need you with me on my big day,” she’d said, gifting me a box of goodies. “You’re not just Liam’s sister, you’re mine too.”

I gladly accepted.
Denise had even planned my 21st birthday when my friends flaked, so I thought I knew her well. And to be honest, she’d spent more time planning her wedding with me than with Liam, who seemed content to just show up on the day.
But secretly, he was putting together a surprise video montage to play before their vows.

“I’m saving all our best photos and videos,” he told me one night, showing me the project on his laptop. I could see the effort he was pouring into it, and it melted my heart.
On the morning of the wedding, I went to see Liam.
“You have no idea what’s coming,” he teased, sipping champagne as he got ready.

“Oh boy,” I laughed, feeling the suspense. “I can’t wait.”
The ceremony was perfect. Denise had planned every detail, from the flowers to the music. But when it was time for the vows, Liam held up his hand.
“Wait,” he said to the priest. “I have something to show you all.”
He pulled out a remote, and his groomsmen rolled a large TV to the front of the altar.

“This,” he announced, “this… is our love story.”
The screen lit up with images of Liam and Denise’s life together—their first dates, vacations, nights spent cooking together. The guests were enthralled, and Denise’s face glowed as she watched.
But then the video shifted.

In a sharp turn, a new clip played.
Denise was in their home, but she wasn’t alone. She was with another man, wrapped in his arms, in lingerie.
The room went deathly silent. Guests’ heads turned to Denise, whose face had turned ghostly pale. Her mouth opened, but no words came out.

“This… can’t be happening,” she stammered, more to herself than anyone.
Then, to everyone’s shock, the man from the video, a guest seated at the back, stood up visibly shaken.
“Oh, hell,” he muttered, looking around nervously.
Liam’s voice broke the silence.

“This is why I won’t be marrying Denise today,” he said, his voice calm but heavy with anger. “I couldn’t let everyone here witness a lie.”
The atmosphere shifted from celebratory to tense. Denise staggered back, glancing around as if searching for an ally.
She kicked off her heels, holding them by the straps.

“Liam, please, not here,” she begged, her voice breaking. “Let’s talk outside.”
My heart twisted as I watched her. Denise and I had been so close, but now I saw her for what she was: someone who’d hurt my brother.
Her tears didn’t move him.
“How long has this been going on?” Liam demanded.

“Not long,” she whispered, her composure crumbling. “I never wanted you to find out.”
“In our home, Denise?” he asked, his voice hard. “You brought him into our home.”
Guests gasped, some whispering, others turning away from the unfolding scene.
The priest, at a loss, stepped back. Denise took a shaky step toward Liam, tears streaming down her face.

“Liam, please. Let’s just talk this through.”
But he turned on his heel and walked down the aisle, leaving her standing there alone. Denise ran after him, calling his name, but he didn’t even look back.
Later, I found Liam at the hotel bar, eating a bowl of olives and nursing a drink. He looked up as I approached.

“Did you know?” he asked quietly.
“No,” I said. “I had no idea.”
He took a long drink, then sighed.
“I found the video while going through Denise’s files. I thought I’d find more photos to add to the montage, but instead… I found that.”

“Did I go too far, showing everyone?” he asked.
I thought for a moment. There were no good answers here.
“Maybe,” I admitted. “But she left you no choice. You deserved the truth.”
Liam gave a small nod.
“Let’s go find some cake,” he said finally. “It shouldn’t go to waste.”
I followed my brother into the dining room, letting Denise be the past. Right now, he needed me in his corner.
