In remission
Kate reveals details about her hair during chemo
Princess Kate is not only known for her elegance and impeccable style, but also for her beautiful, shiny hair - a trademark admired by millions. During her months of chemotherapy, one topic remained unspoken: How did the princess manage to keep her iconic hair?
In conversation with Katherine Field, a patient at the Royal Marsden Hospital who is also undergoing cancer treatment, the mystery was solved. Field, who was wearing a so-called "cold cap" - a system designed to reduce hair loss by cooling the scalp during chemotherapy - spoke to Kate about this particular therapy.
"She just said she didn't need it," Field later reported. "It would have been terrible if she had lost her hair, which is so iconic. Everyone loves her hair!"
The news caused admiration, but also astonishment. It is well known that chemotherapy often leads to hair loss - but apparently Kate was spared. The Princess did not elaborate on whether genetic factors, special care or simply luck played a role.
In March 2024, Kate made it public that she had been diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer following her abdominal surgery in January 2024 and that she would be fighting it with chemotherapy. With success! Her last treatment was in September, and this week she was able to announce that she was in remission, i.e. cancer-free.
She underwent the treatment quietly at the renowned Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she has now paid a surprise visit to say thank you and talk to other patients about her experience.
