Is the Princess of Wales set to be TIME's Person Of The Year? Catherine has made the shortlist for the magazine’s annual award, which since 1927 has crowned the ‘person, group, or concept’ that made the most impact (for good or for ill) on society that year. Joining the royal on the 2024 shortlist are the likes of Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Yulia Navalnaya, and if she were to be crowned Person Of The Year, Catherine would follow in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, who won in 2023. The inclusion on the list is tied to her role in igniting a global conversation about ‘privacy and health for public figures.’ In January 2024, Kensington Palace announced she would undergo abdominal surgery, triggering a storm of speculation and conspiracy theories. Two months later, she revealed her cancer diagnosis and temporarily stepped back from royal duties to focus on chemotherapy. Since then, she has completed her treatment and gradually resumed her public engagements, with last Friday’s Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey standing as a poignant milestone in her journey of recovery.
