Princess of Wales Kate Middleton shares a unique way she relaxed during cancer treatment, and it’s not something you’d think about a princess doing. The princess found that using colors to draw pictures brought her peace in the midst of discomfort. Watch the video to see the joy on Kate’s face as she recalls the experience. 

"I didn't have the ability to read or do anything,” Kate shared with other cancer patients. “Coloring was my way of exploring interesting things and be able to do something that did not require an end product, just a way of playing and losing yourself.”

Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in 2024, after a planned abdominal surgery. She went into remission in 2025. 

“At the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous,” Kate Middleton said during cancer treatment in 2024. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

What Kate Middleton Is Up to Now

Last year, she expressed that while she’s in remission, she is still focused on recovery, as it takes time for the body to adjust after chemotherapy. She also thanked everyone who supported her in her cancer journey.

On her recent visit with cancer patients, Kate, a mother of three young kids, also comforted a young mother who is going through treatment. 

She said, “Meeting patients, families, and staff was a powerful reminder that healing is about so much more than treatment alone. A cancer diagnosis affects every part of life, in mind, body, and the deeper part of ourselves. The way we process fear, uncertainty, and change is deeply personal. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for the compassion, creativity, and dedication shown every day across the hospital."

It’s surely reassuring for UK cancer patients to see that their princess went through the same struggles they’re going through. She’s not a thing on a pedestal—but a person, just like them.

It is not every day that a young person looks outside of their world to those who might be forgotten. This video reminds us of the kindness that can go a long way in friendship. Watch as this football player asks a cheerleader with Down syndrome to homecoming.

At the start of this clip, you see a precious young woman with Down syndrome who is on the field with her cheerleading squad. She is very caught off guard as a young man in a number 33 football uniform walks over with a poster and flowers. The poster reads, “Cheer me up & go to HOCO with me.” 

The young woman is emotional. She goes to get the flowers and hugs him, and turns her face toward the crowd. You see such a big smile on her face, and everyone cheers. You see someone put a tiara on the flower bouquet. Then, there is a photo of the two of them, and she has the tiara on, flowers in hand, and a football player by her side. It is a young woman’s dream.

That’s Not the End of the Story

Suddenly, there is a fast-forward moment of this girl, all dolled up with her hair done and a gorgeous maroon dress on. She walks through her house and sees her date for the homecoming. It is emotional watching her run to him because she is so thrilled. She gives him a big hug. The two are seen standing together for a photo with another boy, and then they are shown out to dinner. 

Seeing how this boy cared for and encouraged this girl is inspiring. She may not have typically been a person who would be seen and chosen. His notice and kindness towards her are a motivation to us in our lives. We can look around at people who may not be recognized or seen and show the love of Christ to them. 

“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4

What happens when our prayers become so filtered and "spiritual" that we lose the raw honesty of what we actually desire?

In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime take a fun detour from their usual topics and head straight to Broadway! Using the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, they dive into Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof, revealing how it serves as a surprisingly profound template for authentic, uncensored prayer.

We often feel guilty bringing our "frivolous" desires to God—like wanting a financial cushion, a nicer house, or just to be respected. But by looking at Tevye's conversational honesty with the Lord, Alana and Jaime discuss how peeling back the layers of our superficial wants almost always reveals a pure, God-given desire for security, community, or peace.

To bring it home, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip. She unpacks her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit, tracing it down to her true "prayer behind the prayer": a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family for years to come.

Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational and authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this conversation encourages you to stop editing your prayers and confidently bring your true self to the Father!
