Buckingham Palace has been flooded with tens of thousands of heartfelt Get Well Soon cards and gifts for the Princess of Wales, who recently disclosed her brave journey through cancer treatment.
The Palace’s correspondents team has been deeply moved by the outpouring of love and affection towards Kate, who shared an emotional video message revealing her ongoing preventative chemotherapy.
Stepping away from the public eye, the Princess is focusing on her treatment, recovery, and safeguarding her young family.
Despite her withdrawal, the continuous support for her remains unwavering, with Palace staff receiving an overwhelming number of cards, letters, and gifts from the public, offering their well wishes.
The sheer volume of correspondence has posed challenges at times for the Palace team to manage effectively.
However, they are dedicated to responding to each writer eventually.
While the Prince and Princess of Wales maintain a private office at Kensington Palace, all letters addressed to members of the Royal Family are handled by the Court Post Office.
Typically, the Palace receives up to 1,000 letters weekly from the public containing queries or messages of goodwill for various Royals.
Yet, the revelation of the Princess’s health condition has led to a substantial increase in incoming mail.
Earlier this year, Kate underwent unexpected major abdominal surgery and spent two weeks at the London Clinic before returning home for recovery.
In March, amidst global speculation about her health, she confirmed that despite initial beliefs that her condition was not cancerous, doctors later discovered evidence of the disease.
Emphasizing the need to focus on her healing and supporting her children during this challenging period, the Princess requested privacy for her family as she completes her treatment.
Although there have been no official updates on her health, recent sightings of her out with her family suggest positive progress.
Nonetheless, Kensington Palace reiterated the importance of allowing the Princess time and space for recuperation.
During the launch of a significant report by her early years business task force, a Palace spokesman emphasized that her presence should not be misconstrued as a return to work.
A senior Royal aide highlighted the Princess’s commitment to public service through the task force, indicating her dedication to continue upon her return.
Stressing the necessity of privacy for her recovery, it was made clear that she will resume work only after receiving medical clearance.
