Kensington Palace has released thank you cards for members of the public who sent their best wishes to the Princess of Wales as she undergoes chemotherapy.
Kate, 42, announced via an emotional video message in late March that she was in the early stages of treatment following a cancer diagnosis.
During the clip, the future Queen said it had been “an incredibly difficult couple of months” for her family, but that she was “doing well and getting stronger every day.”
Since the public learned of the princess’s health problems, other royals who intervened have received cards and notes to give to Kate. The royal fans have also sent them to the Palace.
A woman received a letter from the Palace on Saturday after she sent Kate a card wishing her well after learning she would undergo abdominal surgery in January.
Kate, 42, has been inundated with messages from royal fans wishing for her recovery.

The short note, printed on card and with Palace letterhead at the top, read: “Thank you for your good wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales.”
“Your thoughtful gesture is greatly appreciated.”
The palace often sends cards on special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas, when they receive correspondence from royal admirers.
The postcard was left blank, which is unusual because correspondence from the Royal Family usually comes with a photograph.
Allex Marie took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express her gratitude for the note, adding that she would “treasure it all my life.”
She wrote: “In January, when we were informed that our beautiful Princess of Wales had undergone surgery, I sent her a card with our sincerest wishes (my family and I) for healing and, of course, lots of love.
‘Today I received this beautiful recognition and I can honestly say that I will treasure it all my life.
‘The envelope has Kensington Palace on the back hahaha hubby. [sic] I thought he was going to have to bring out his suit for a garden party (silly), but he is just as impressed as I am to receive this beautiful, treasured card.
‘Continued prayers and healing for our beautiful Princess of Wales.’
Others also posted the note and wished Kate a speedy recovery and added that they would be grateful for the note.

Supporters of royal visits have given notes to Camilla to give to the Princess of Wales.
King Charles was “very emotional” after having a private lunch with Kate Middleton the day before she bravely revealed her cancer diagnosis to the world.
The mother-of-three was at the center of conspiracy theories circulating online questioning her disappearance after surgery, despite the palace claiming she needed time to recover from her operation earlier in the year.
speaking to PEOPLEA former Palace aide said the level of interest in Kate’s health was a “complex reaction”.
They explained: ‘There was no bad intention. But it unleashed a repressed feeling that people wanted information; Unfortunately, that is the curse of being a modern royal.”
King Charles was also diagnosed with cancer after undergoing a procedure for an enlarged prostate at the same hospital as Kate in January.
In early February, Buckingham Palace made public the news that he had been diagnosed with a type of cancer, adding that it was not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his treatment.
She has since praised her daughter-in-law for her bravery in speaking out about her condition.
“Her Majesty is ‘very proud of Catherine for her bravery in speaking out as she did,'” Buckingham Palace said.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also said: “We wish Kate and the family health and healing, and hope they can do so privately and peacefully.”
