Princess Kate steps out to attend the English National Ballet in surprise royal outing

The Princess of Wales, who recently finished her course of preventative chemotherapy, took to social media with the news.

Writing on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Kate said: “Congratulations and thank you to @ENBallet and @Sadlers_Wells for the wonderfully powerful, moving and inspiring performance of Akram Khan’s Giselle.

The “C” at the end of the post is an indication it was written directly by Catherine, Princess of Wales.

The Princess of Wales privately attended the English National Ballet’s matinee performance of Giselle at Sadlers Wells this afternoon.

GB News understands that she enjoyed the performance so much, that she wanted to write a public message about it.

It is believed a key part of the princess’s recovery is doing things that bring her joy.

The ballet and arts in general are known to be a real passion for the Princess of Wales.

Just earlier this month, Princess Kate confirmed she had completed her course of preventative chemotherapy.

She first announced she was beginning the treatment in March, two months after undergoing major abdominal surgery.

The royal spent 13 days in The London Clinic, the same hospital where King Charles was treated for an enlarged prostate.

For the whole of 2024, Kate has been recuperating in private at her Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage.

She made two official public appearances – one to Trooping the Colour, and the other to the Wimbledon final with Princess Charlotte and Pippa Matthews.

In her video announcing the end of her chemotherapy treatment, Kate did say she was hoping to begin a gradual return to work.

On September 17, the 42-year-old held her first work meeting in over nine months, as recorded by The Court Circular.
