Kate Middleton Shares She Finished “Incredibly Tough” 9-Month Chemo Treatment

Kate Middleton cancer update

After revealing her cancer diagnosis back in March, Kate Middleton just announced she's finally finished her nine-month long chemotherapy treatment. Instead of releasing a written statement or an Instagram post, Middleton shared an emotional, gorgeous video featuring her entire family. It's a serene celebration of her loving family as they take the next steps in her cancer journey together. Here's what the Princess of Wales said.

This three minute video packs in a lot of love — and a lot of life – after such a grim circumstance for the beloved royal family. Middleton opens with what a relief it is to announce that she's finished her chemo treatment, and continues by explaining, "The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown."

The Princess of Wales elaborates that cancer is "complex, scary, and unpredictable," especially for friends and family. She says, ""This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved."

Middleton says that her main goal is to remain cancer-free, and continue on her long healing journey. She plans to "each day as it comes," while also hoping to join some public engagements in the future. She says, "Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life."

The Princess wraps up her statement by saying that she and Prince William are "grateful" for everyone's enduring support, noting that the overall graciousness and kindness has been "truly humbling." She says, "To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright."

Throughout her contemplative statement, the video features gorgeous shots of the entire family out in nature, splashing through the beach, walking through a nature trail, and just generally being together. With three grown, yet still young, children, this family vibrancy resonates deeply, reminding us all to hold those we love closely.

We're so thrilled for Princess Kate, and the entire family, on this incredible health milestone, and we continue to wish them well!

When did Kate Middleton get cancer?

Kate Middleton officially announced her cancer diagnosis back in March of 2024. The Princess never explicitly stated what kind of cancer she's battling, only that she was in the midst of a thorough treatment plan.

Back in January of that same year, Middleton underwent abdominal surgery that many assume is associated with the diagnosis at hand. After the described "successful" surgery, Kensington Palace stated that Middleton wished that her "personal medical information" remained "private." They further explained that the public would get updates "when there is significant new information to share."

The next update we received was the March video, explaining Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis, leading us to believe that each incident is tied together.

Regardless, it's great to hear that the Princess of Wales has officially completed her chemotherapy treatment as of today!

Robert Pattinson fans are going to love his new movie. Not only does the Twilight star take the lead in this new campy, sci-fi thriller, but there are so many versions of him. Because in this world, Robert's Mickey is an Expendable, which means when his boss sends him on a dangerous mission that costs him his life, they're able to just print another version of him...as many times as they need. A world where someone can literally be labeled expendable is not ideal, but a world with endless Robert Pattinsons? Sign me up. Watch the new Mickey 17 trailer and check out everything else you need to know about the movie!

What is Mickey 17 about?

Mickey 17 Plot

Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) signs up to be an Expendable — which basically means he gets to die, for a living. Sent on countless life-threatening (or rather, life-ending) missions in a quest to colonize the ice world of Niflheim, Mickey dies and is cloned over and over. But when two Mickeys end up surviving at the same time, everything is thrown into chaos. Mickey 17 comes from Parasite writer & director Bong Joon Ho.

"I've been the biggest fan of Bong for many, many years; he's my hero," Robert Pattinson said at 2024's CinemaCon (via Entertainment Weekly). "I got sent the script; I was told, 'You're gonna love the script, but the part is impossible.' That was very, very exciting to me. I thought it was the most unusual, bizarre, funny script."

"Mickey 17 is someone who has the lowest expectations of his life, and yet the world keeps pushing those expectations, to the point where he has a job that tortures him every day," he continues. "And then 18 comes along, and he's got frontal lobe damage and no self-control, libido out of control...It's like playing an evil brother or twin."

When does Mickey 17 come out?

Mickey 17 Release Date

Mickey 17 will hit theaters January 31, 2025. There are so many amazing New 2025 Movies, and I can't wait to see every single one.

Who's starring in Mickey 17?

Mickey 17 Cast

In addition to Robert Pattinson (and Robert Pattinson and Robert Pattinson), the cast of Mickey 17 stars Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

The day after Hacks season 3 premiered its finale, the series was renewed for a fourth season. That's how you know a TV show's good! The series just nabbed three Emmys during the September 15 awards show, including Best Comedy Series and Best Lead Actress for Jean Smart. And it's no surprise: the junior season showed off Jean's acting chops when her character Deborah and Hannah Einbinder's Ava got into a major, life-altering fight that included backstabbing, betrayal, and blackmail (prestige TV's favorite 'B's).

But don't worry, Lucia Aniello, one of the show's creators, promises Hacks season 4 will pick right up where the finale left off. “I think the tease that I can give legally is that we pick up 20 minutes or so after where we left off,” she said after the Emmys win (via The Wrap). “The tension is still high, and there’s still a lot of fallout to explore.”

Here's everything you need to know about Hacks season 4, including when you can stream it (and where to stream the first three seasons, of course).

Is there a season 4 of Hacks coming?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

Yes, Hacks season 4 is on its way! Word of the renewal first broke on May 30 after the season 3 finale "Bulletproof" aired on the 29.

What is Hacks season 4 going to be about?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

Season 4 of Hacks will pick right where season 3 left off, with Ava and Deborah at odds. Deborah hired someone else to the head writer position of her show, and Ava threatens to tell the world one of Deborah's darkest secrets to get a spot on the team: that Deborah slept with network exec Bob Lipka before she got her own show.

Meanwhile, Deb's daughter DJ is about to have a baby, Jimmy gets Kayla to agree to stay in the business, while Marcus tells Damien that he's leaving for a new job.

When is Hacks season 4 coming out?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

We don't have an official Hacks season 4 release date yet, but we're expecting the show to hit Max in May of 2025. Seasons 1 and 2 premiered in May of 2021 and 2022, respectively, while season 3 was only delayed because of the writer's strike and Jean Smart's heart surgery.

Who's in the cast of Hacks?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder star as Deborah and Ava in the cast of Hacks. Actors like Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, and Christopher Lloyd have all had guest roles, and Jean and Hannah hope season 4 has just as many iconic names, namely Carol Burnett and Elton John.

“I worked with her once very briefly, and I just adore her, and I just think she’s incredible,” Jean told Deadline of Carol Burnett, while Hannah agreed it "would be sick" to have Elton John guest star on the show.

Which season of Hacks is best?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

A lot of fans agree that Hacks season 3 is the best installment of the series yet. You can stream all three seasons on Max right now and see if you agree!

When any red carpet rolls around, there are certain couples we can pretty much always count on to show up looking cuter than ever. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend… But anyone who’s ever seen a tabloid knows that celebrity couples often have a relatively short lifespan. And so when we decided to look back at the red carpet couples of the past, we rediscovered a whole bunch of duos we totally forgot ever existed. These stars are incredible on their own, but even more powerful together. Scroll on down to take a look at all the now-Hollywood exes who made us do a double take.

Juliette Lewis + Brad Pitt

Vinnie Zuffante/Archive Photos/Getty Images

We tend to think of Angelina and Jennifer as Brad’s two big loves, but before them (and Gwyneth) came Juliette Lewis. The two dated for four years when they were both on the cusp of total stardom. These two just might be tied with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss as the most ’90s couple that’s ever existed.

Michael Jackson + Brooke Shields

Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Images

A budding supermodel and a global pop sensation? It’s kind of a Hollywood match made in heaven, just like Brooke's curls. That dress on the other hand? We’re not so sure.

Matthew Broderick + Jennifer Grey

Vinnie Zuffante/TriStar/Getty Images

As much as we’d like to believe Sarah Jessica Parker was Matthew Broderick’s one and only, this couple makes a lot of sense. The two were both the main characters in epic teen ’80s movies – we’ll just forget about the fact that they played brother and sister in one of them…

Jake Gylenhaal + Reese Witherspoon

Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images

Dang, why didn’t this couple work out again? Oh right, probably because that much wonderfulness packed into one couple would make the world explode. But they sure did look good together!

Drew Barrymore + Corey Feldman

Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images

Feldman once said that his first date with Drew was arranged by her mother when she was 10 and he was 14, because apparently Barrymore had a huge crush on him. They later dated briefly (this time for real) in 1989, when Drew was a teenager. Unfortunately, he was heavily into drugs during that time and she was trying to stay sober after multiple stints in rehab, so it didn’t last long.

Winona Ryder + Christian Slater

New World Pictures/Getty Images

Here’s to hoping this relationship ended a little more amicably than it did for their Heathers characters.

Julia Roberts + Kiefer Sutherland

Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images

It was supposed to be one of the biggest Hollywood weddings ever, and then all of a sudden, Julia called it off. Tragic. At least we have this red carpet moment to remember the couple by.

Stacy Keibler + George Clooney

Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Now that Amal is in the picture, it’s hard to imagine George with anyone else. But before that British vision of elegance came Stacy Keibler, the stunning professional wrestler and George’s beau for two years.

I like to think of curtains as a room's final accessory, like putting on earrings before heading for a night out. They instantly warm up a room, literally and aesthetically, and can be the statement piece or the neutral backdrop to your favorite room. They also provide privacy, blocking unwanted views and light, which is essential in bedrooms, living areas, and offices. We found 15 curtains in a slew of materials, patterns, and styles that will elevate your style and space. Make sure to measure your window’s width and height to determine the right length and width of the drapes, letting them hang to the floor or a little beyond it, and dress your rooms for fall and beyond!
