This post comes just five months after William dedicated a rare tribute to Kate for her birthday in January.

The couple's strong bond has been evident throughout their marriage, particularly during challenging times, such as Kate's recent cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Despite these difficulties, the couple has prioritised their family and relationships, finding strength in each other.

After completing chemotherapy last September, Kate reflected on how her health battle gave her a new perspective on life.

'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,' she said in a video shared on Instagram, adding, '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.'

In January, Kate shared the good news on social media that she is officially in remission.

'It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery,' she wrote in a message on X earlier this year. (ANI)
