Princess Catherine has made a surprise public appearance amidst her ongoing cancer treatment.
On Sunday (August 11), the 42-year-old Princess of Wales and her husband, Prince William, shared a video celebrating the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In the clip, the royal couple praised Team GB's outstanding achievements during the tournament.
“From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB,” Catherine - who wore a casual white shirt with black stripes - said, while her husband chimed in: “Well done on all you’ve achieved. You’ve been an inspiration to us all."
Check out the video below:The caption of the video, which was posted to their official social media accounts, read: “Well done @teamgb, what an incredible journey! Every athlete showed immense dedication, heart, and passion. You made us all so proud!
“Here’s to celebrating every triumph at @paris2024 and looking forward to more from @paralympicsgb_official later in the summer,” they added.
While the royals' three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, did not appear in the clip, several British celebrities including David Beckham sent their own messages of support to the Olympians.
Many users took to social media to share their delight at the princess's surprise appearance. "It's especially good to see The Princess of Wales," one user said. A second added: "Fantastic video!! and how beautiful to see the princess Catherine so pretty."
Some people shared their excitement on Instagram too: "You both look amazing!!!!! Love the scruff W!!! Catherine you look stunning!!" and a fourth commented: "Catherine looks lovely as usual."
The mom-of-three has kept a low profile since announcing that she was receiving chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer in March.
In an emotional televised statement at the time, the royal said: "This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.
"As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment," she added.
