On Instagram, Holden replied: “I’m sobbing. This is beautiful.”
On X, the post was shared by Macmillan Cancer Support, who wrote: “This is wonderful news.
“We know how hard a cancer journey can be, it’s important we celebrate these moments when we can.”
The footage was shot by filmmaker Will Warr over the summer.

Mr Warr, whose Instagram page features celebrity faces such as Jamie Oliver, Stanley Tucci and Jamie Laing, has worked with Will and Kate before.

On Monday, sharing Kate’s video about her cancer journey, Mr Warr wrote: “It’s always an honour to produce films for @princeandprincessofwales, but this one was particularly poignant.
“Thank you to The Princess of Wales for trusting me to create this.”
He also shared a post from British Vogue to his Instagram story, writing: “Some of my favourite shots. Thanks for sharing @britishvogue.”
