Fans of the Royal Family are gushing over Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte after they were given a rare opportunity to hear the siblings speak after they were shown ‘smiling and goofing around’ in an intimate video shared by Kate Middleton.

The Princess of Wales revealed in the video that she has finished her course of ‘preventative chemotherapy’  and plans to undertake a ‘light programme’ of public engagements over the coming months.

It also offered a rare and personal glimpse into the Windsor’s family life as footage showed her and Prince William‘s children spending quality time in Norfolk with their parents in the moving clip, shot in August.

The Windsor children could also be heard chatting as they are playing around with the camera. George staring in the lens as he asks ‘is this filming?’ while sat on a picnic blanket with his mother.

Louis then enters the frame to say: ‘Hello!’ while Charlotte also laughs and joins in.

Meet the filmmaker behind Kate Middleton’s intimate family video

Royal fans have sent well wishes to the Princess of Wales, with one fan claiming they ‘sobbed with joy’ when they watched the video. Other Royal fans have focused on the Windsor’s youngest who featured so prominently in the intimate video.

One user said: ‘Love this clip of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. They are growing up in a happy and loving family.’

Another X, formerly Twitter, user shared a still of the Princess of Wales embracing her eldest son Prince George with the caption ‘Mama with Prince George.’

X user with the username All Things Royal described the children as ‘totally adorable’ and said they were so glad to see ‘them smiling and goofing around.’

Another person simply wrote: ‘This family is so beautiful.’

Kate ended her video with a deeply moving and emotional message to fellow cancer patients and their families, saying: ‘To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.’

People responded in the comments sharing their own struggles undergoing chemotherapy and how they can understand how difficult it is.

One person said: ‘This cancer and chemotherapy survivor is glad to see Kate Middleton has completed her ‘preventative’ chemo treatment and looks to have made a full physical recovery.’

Another added: ‘I cannot express to y’all how horrible chemo is…it’s awful. Please be kind to anyone enduring this.’

While a third said: ‘I have seen up close what cancer does to people. At the end of the day Kate Middleton is a mother to three young children, so I’m glad she’s cancer-free & will be able to spend more time with them.’

Her programme of engagements will be ‘light’ but is likely, as previously revealed by the Daily Mail, to including Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph and other events around it.

They are only likely to be announced last minute as they will depend as and when Her Royal Highness feels able to carry them out, with sources stressing repeatedly that every ‘cancer journey is different’.

She will not accompany Prince William to his Earthshot Prize awards in Cape Town in November, emphasising she wanted to remain in the UK to support her young family for whom the year has been difficult too.

The news that Catherine is set to return to public duties in the autumn comes after it was revealed yesterday that the King’s health is also heading in a ‘very positive’ direction.

King Charles was diagnosed with cancer in January after undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate.

The King and Queen are gearing up for an important tour to Australia and Samoa in the autumn – their first major overseas trip since news of Charles’s cancer was announced.

Down-time will be incorporated in Australia and Samoa, with not too many back to back meetings, consideration given to the time difference, and a hoped-for trip to New Zealand removed to reduce the travel demands, but Charles’s programme is still expected to be ‘pretty full on’

TODAY’S MESSAGE FROM CATHERINE, THE PRINCESS OF WALES

‘As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

‘The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.

‘Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.

‘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. Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus.

‘Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

‘I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

‘Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

‘William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time.

‘Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling. To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright’
