The royal did not attend the event in 2024 due to her undergoing cancer treatment and focusing on her recovery. After announcing in early 2025 that she was in remission, the 44-year-old princess has gradually returned to royal duties. This comeback has been met with a positive response, especially considering the Princess&#8217; status as one of the royals with the most star quality, according to writer Russell Myers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>\u201cThere\u2019s no denying that everyone concerned has been missing the princess\u2019s star quality.
