Princess Kate breaks with tradition as she replies to royal fans’ ‘kind’ messages while undergoing chemotherapy
Kensington Palace has posted thank you notes to members of the public who sent their best wishes to the Princess of Wales as she recovers from her health setbacks.
The short note on the postcard, which featured the palace’s letterhead, read: “Thank you for your kind well wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. Your thoughtful gesture is very much appreciated.”
In a break with tradition, no photo accompanied the note, which was instead left blank on one side.
The palace usually sends out thank you cards on behalf of the Prince and Princess of Wales on special occasions, for example when they have received correspondence to mark their birthdays, their children’s birthdays, their wedding anniversary, and national holidays like Christmas.
Earlier this year, William and Kate thanked fans for their festive wishes by sending a card that featured their Christmas 2023 family photo taken by fashion and portrait photographer Josh Skinner.
