Despite being 64, Ferguson is thriving and coming into her own after undergoing treatment for both breast cancer and malignant melanoma skin cancer in 2023.

Beatrice emphasized the importance of regular health checks in preventing and detecting health issues early, which serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination within the royal family during difficult times. This news comes amidst other positive updates from the royal family, including King Charles’s return to public duties following his own cancer treatment. Charles recently visited the University College Hospital’s Macmillan Cancer Centre to raise awareness about early cancer diagnosis and was announced as the Patron of Cancer Research UK.

Meanwhile, Princess Kate Middleton is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year following abdominal surgery in January. The Palace has not disclosed the specific form of cancer she is battling, but she is receiving treatment and focusing on her health. Despite these health challenges faced by some members of the royal family, there is a sense of resilience and determination to continue raising awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
