Royal family members will show up for Princess Kate at her annual Christmas carol service, Kensington Palace confirmed.

The Princess of Wales is making a steady return to royal duties following what has been one of the most tumultuous years of her life. In March, Kate confirmed she had been diagnosed with an unknown form of cancer.

I'd love to look the way that I did before cancer (I'd especially like to be as thin as I was when I was 15) but I don't have that luxury. Instead, I've tried to come to terms with my disease-ravaged body, so when people like Ms Kaur question Princess Kate's appearance it makes it more difficult for cancer sufferers like me to accept the way I am.
