Fans concern about Catherine at the Festival of Remembrance stems from her recent battle with cancer. This was an incredibly tough period for her and her family. The Princess of Wales announced in September 2024 that she was cancer-free and was determined to regain her strength. She also vowed to do everything she could to remain cancer-free even as she resumes royal duties.
