As for Kate—mom to Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with William—the engagement with Melania is the latest since she returned to her royal duties last fall after completing chemotherapy. While the Princess of Wales had been out of the spotlight following her diagnosis with cancer, following the end of her treatment she gradually returned to her public duties.

She urged fellow cancer survivors to give themselves grace.
“You have to find your new normal and that takes time,” she said, “and it’s a rollercoaster, it’s not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is you go through hard times.”
