THE WALES FAMILY'S SKI TRIP ♡

The Prince and Princess of Wales along with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – enjoyed a quiet break in the Alps just over two weeks ago.

They are said to have slipped away from their home at Anmer on the Sandringham estate shortly after Christmas, and spent several days away, along with members of the Middleton family.

The couple and their children were spotted enjoying morning hot drinks at a mountaintop restaurant that is a popular stop-off point for British skiers and has panoramic views of snow-covered peaks. It is believed they returned for a meal at the same restaurant.

A member of staff revealed:

'It was lovely to see Kate relaxing and enjoying herself.

They looked like a normal English family, and a lot of people didn't recognise them. It was not the first time we had seen them. They have been coming here for years. I think they love the area. We often see Kate's sister Pippa as well.'

Catherine spent time with her brother James while on her break, including seeing him at the restaurant.

An onlooker said:

'James was there with his wife and then Kate arrived with Charlotte and Louis. It seemed like a bit of a Middleton family knees-up. Everyone seemed to be really happy.

There were no airs and graces and actually they seemed like any normal family enjoying a ski break. There were lots of laughs and the children were very polite.

The only reason you would have known that they were people of importance was because when Kate arrived so did a group of security guards. Kate looked like she was having a lovely time.'

James had shared a set of pictures on Instagram earlier this month with Alizee and their one-year-old son Inigo and two of their dogs while on a ski trip.

His Majesty King Charles is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did’. Following their time in hospital together, His Majesty has ‘remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks. Both Their Majesties will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.’ The Kings’ message after the announcement The Princess of Wales has cancer.

Kate reminded me that with a heart of gratitude, I too can do hard things.

'Coming in the front entrance here, having made so many quiet, private visits, actually it's quite nice.'

Courage is being brave enough to do what you should do even when you're afraid.

January 17, 2025

The princess has had a lot of practice making the hard things look easy, and her recent visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital was no exception.

One year ago today, January 17, 2024, Kensington Palace informed the world that the princess was in hospital recovering from a major surgery, and she would be on a leave of absence until after the Easter holidays. Unfortunately she and her family were blindsided, and rightfully devastated by her unexpected pathology results which revealed that her surgery actually removed a malignant tumor. This news came on the heels of the king's own cancer diagnosis and an unprecedentedly vicious (where is kate) media campaign fueled by a sewer squad.

This week, Catherine marked her "cancerversary°" with gratitude when she generously allowed the world to witness her royal RETURN (to one of her medical facilities) with a heart of gratitude as a patient and also as the better half of a new patronage.

Unfortunately Catherine is no stranger to hospitals. She even spoke about the relief she experienced during childbirth because the hyperemesis gravidarum was finally behind her. She also explained that being ill is often harder on the caregivers who feel helpless, a sentiment she echoed as she engaged with cancer patients and staff.

"William didn't feel like he could do much to help...it's hard for the people around you to see you suffering"♡

'I recognise that beep!'

What many don't know is that Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is very common in patients regardless of illness or treatment. Some "former" cancer patients become violently ill upon their return to a treatment facility. I personally know one (1) patient who became nauseous via telephone as she overheard the familiar beeping sound of an infusion pump.

"For me, I had all the memories of being in hospital & being sick. It wasn't the sort of place where I wanted to hang out & hang around so I was really desperate to get back to normality"♡

Catherine's medical journey should have been confidential. It wasn't anyone's business that she was diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Royals, presidents, elected officials and other celebrated people are today privately battling life threatening illnesses, a right she was denied. Although she was not afforded medical privacy, she and her family embraced yet another unfair hardship with grace, and they will use it to serve others.

Wimbledon 2024: This photo captured the pure joy that resides inside of The Princess of Wales. Despite the notable puffiness in Catherine's face (from all the chemotherapy drugs), the Princess still found a way to be happy as she showed up to serve the British people, and represent the royal family, as patron.

Gratitude is "letting others know that you SEE that they've helped."

One of the most teachable lessons on gratitude was documented by a Jewish physician named Luke, a disciple of Jesus Christ. Doctor Luke shared a historical moment of gratitude when ten (10) lepers were healed by Jesus but only one (1) returned to offer gratitude.

Be Thankful Luke 17:11-19 "While Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he was going through the area between Samaria and Galilee. As he came into a small town, ten men who had a skin disease met him there. They did not come close to Jesus but called to him, “Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us!” When Jesus saw the men, he said, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As the ten men were going, they were healed. When one of them saw that he was healed, he went back to Jesus, praising God in a loud voice. Then he bowed down at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. (And this man was a Samaritan.) Jesus said, “Weren��t ten men healed? Where are the other nine? Is this Samaritan the only one who came back (returned) to thank God?” Then Jesus said to him, “Stand up and go on your way. You were healed because you believed.”

Here's a sweet memory & teachable moment when Princess Charlotte expressed gratitude for her very own posy bouquet: "thank you."

Bravo Princess Catherine. We see you and we appreciate you! Thank you for continuing to use your influence to teach what is good. You've inspired us to do the same.

"It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support."

Memory Lane:

One month before Catherine would undergo her own surgery, she performed her patron duties for the Evelina London Children's Hospital

Inspirational Music for strength in the Journey

°A cancerversary is a compound word that describes a significant day of celebration for a person who’s experienced cancer. Cancerversaries can be celebrated anytime and anyplace. The specifics are to be determined by the celebrant. Some celebrants choose to celebrate cancerversaries annually on the specific day of diagnosis. Others choose to celebrate annually on the day of surgery when the cancer was removed from the body. Some choose to celebrate monthly and others celebrate day-by-day or minute-by-minute. Cancerversaries are as unique as the individuals who choose to celebrate them.
