    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 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."
