Kate Middleton appeared in good spirits as she attended the Festival of Remembrance Saturday after completing her cancer treatment.
The Princess of Wales, 42, joined her husband, Prince William, at the Royal Albert Hall, marking the first time she has appeared at a major event since announcing she had completed her chemo on Sept. 9.
For the royal ceremony, she wore a black coat dress and heels. She accessorized her look with a quilted Chanel clutch and jewelry, including Princess Diana’s Collingwood pearl earrings.

10 Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales looked dapper in a blue suit.
The couple was also joined by King Charles III; Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh; Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.
Queen Camilla did not make an appearance as she battles with a chest infection, which forced her to cancel all her events this past week. Charles, himself, is also battling cancer.
The next day, known as Remembrance Sunday, Middleton and the rest of the royal family are set to appear at The Cenotaph war memorial in London to remember those who died in war and conflict.
These annual ceremonies usually take place on the second weekend of November — and Middleton has attended every single one since marrying William in 2011.

10 On Sept. 9, Middleton announced she had completed her chemo after revealing her cancer diagnosis months before.
“As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” she shared on social media with ahome movie featuring her husband and their three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
“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.”

10 Middleton described her cancer journey as “complex, scary and unpredictable,” saying that her current focus is to do what she can to “stay cancer free.”
“Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” she added.
The mom of three went on to express her excitement to attend more public events, sharing that she has a “renewed sense of hope and appreciation for life.”
“William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time,” she said. “Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.”
