    Kate Middleton announced she's completed her cancer treatment in a moving video on Instagram Sept. 9, telling the world she "has a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life."

    The Princess of Wales — who announced she was diagnosed with cancer in March — shared footage of herself enjoying time with her family in the deeply personal video.

    "As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment," she narrated, adding that her cancer news has been "incredibly tough" for her family.

    The Princess of Wales announced she's completed chemotherapy in a moving video.

    The princess joined husband Prince William and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis for a walk through the woods in the clip, noting how "life as you know it can change in an instant."

    "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," she continued, sharing sweet footage of herself cuddling with her husband on a beach and playing with their children.

    The royal ended her message by thanking the public for their love and support.

    "Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling," she said. "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."
