Kate Middleton and Prince William attended Christmas Day church services with their kids on Wednesday morning — nearly one year after she was diagnosed with cancer.
The couple and their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, were pictured at the annual event at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk, England.
The Princess of Wales, 42, was seen looking aglow as she greeted royal fans outside of the service and even collected flowers from several well-wishers.

She finished the festive look with black trousers and black boots.
She was also joined by William’s father, King Charles III, as well as Queen Camilla for the joyful outing.
This public appearance — which marks a milestone for the Princess amid her cancer battle — caps off an arduous year for the royal.

Rumors and wild conspiracy theories began percolating as the Princess stayed out of the public eye in the following months.
They were all put to rest, however, when the royal announced that she was being treated for an unspecified cancer.
She also carried a black purse and wore black mittens. Samir Hussein/WireImage Middleton looked festive in a tartan scarf that coordinated with her daughter’s coat.

The surgery was successful.
“Tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” she continued. “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
The princess, who looked pale, admitted the diagnosis “came as a huge shock.”

“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.”
