Kate Middleton new photo: A look at royal photographer Matt Porteous who has taken many photos of the family

Dressed in a pair of jeans, trainers and a blazer, a new photograph of Kate Middleton taken by royal photographer, Matt Porteous, has been released. The Princess of Wales is photographed in the gardens of Windsor, standing beneath a willow tree, and in the photograph, she is seen looking up into the sky.

Along with the photograph, the Princess of Wales has shared a statement on her cancer treatment on Instagram. She revealed that "I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months," she said. "It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times."

The Princess of Wales also said that "I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days, you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”

“My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.

“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.

“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.

“Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.

The Princess of Wales signed off the statement with her initial C. Since releasing the statement, she has been inundated with messages of support. One wrote, “Resilience personified! ♥️” whilst another fan said: I think I’m going to cry 😭 With joy and so much emotion ❤️”
