Filmed by videographer Will Warr in Norfolk earlier this summer, Kate described in a voiceover how "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," she said.

Other personal moments included William kissing his wife of 13 years on the neck and cheek as she giggled, the Waleses playing card games with Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and the Princess embracing her children.

Many royal fans were brought to tears by the intimate family video, with one commenting: "And if that doesn't bring a tear to the eye and remind us all to appreciate every single moment. Also makes you realise they're a proper family but doing such an important job."

Another said: "GOOSEBUMPS!!! The message we all have been waiting and praying for. You are such a remarkable and strong woman, thank you for sharing this very special and heartfelt message with us and thank you for also sharing these private and intimate moments with us. All my love to you and your wonderful family. You are all an inspiration for us."

"To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright."
