Kate Middleton channels Meghan Markle's style during emotional cancer update

Princess Kate has shared an update on her ongoing battle with cancer in a beautifully filmed video, where she is seen alongside Prince William and their three children.

Kate Middleton looked effortlessly chic in a floaty white paisley dress by American designer Veronica Beard, the same label Meghan Markle has been spotted wearing recently. Meghan donned a two-piece by Veronica Beard during her four-day tour of Colombia in August, causing it to sell out instantly. Previously, the Duchess wore the same designer in 2018 at Tupou College in Nuku'alofa Tong.

Given that Kate usually opts for British brands, it's intriguing to see her choose one of her sister-in-law's favourite designers, perhaps hinting at unity.

In the sincere and touching video, Kate takes a moment to honor "all those who are continuing their own cancer journey" stating: "I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand."

In one scene, a playful Kate is seen jumping on hay-bales and playing cards with her children in Norfolk. In the video, she discloses how she had come "face to face" with her own 'vulnerabilities'.

"As the summer draws to a close, I cannot express what a relief it is to have finally finished my chemotherapy treatment," she disclosed. "The past nine months have been incredibly challenging for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in a blink and we have had to find a way to navigate the turbulent waters and uncharted road."

"The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything."

"This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved."
