The Princess of Wales is set to make her first long-haul overseas trip since her cancer diagnosis, marking her return to the international stage with a major royal tour of India.

Kate will join her husband, the Prince of Wales, in Mumbai in the coming days for a three-day visit of cultural engagements and the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony, where five winners will each take home one million pounds for their work to help repair the planet.

The trip caps a long road back. Kate was treated for an undisclosed form of the disease at the Royal Marsden hospital after announcing her diagnosis in March 2024, and she declared herself in remission the following January.

William, speaking earlier this year, said his wife had been edging herself back into more overseas visits, while cautioning that royal travel takes a toll and she needs to be kept okay and well rested.
