It's hauntingly beautiful

Kate Middleton ended 2024 on a high note by announcing that her cancer is in remission. Since then, the Princess of Wales, 43, has accompanied her husband, Prince William, on multiple official outings. And today was no different. 

The royal couple stepped out in London for an official event honoring the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Princess Catherine looked chic in an all-black outfit, but I can’t stop thinking about this striking portrait of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The photo was taken during the candle lighting ceremony, and it featured the Prince and Princess of Wales leaning toward each other in a moment of silence. It’s hard to tell what’s happening in the candid shot, but it seems that they’re most comfortable when close together. 

Princess Catherine has slowly been returning to royal duties ever since she completed chemotherapy treatment. Although she started off slow, she has since resumed a normal schedule. Earlier this month, the Princess of Wales pleased fans when she made a major health update shortly after she visited The Royal Marsden, which is the same cancer center where she received medical care.

“It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery,” she wrote in the post. “As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”
