The recognition comes just two weeks after the Duchess of Sussex appeared at the TIME100 Summit in New York City.
TIME praised Princess Kate's candour in sharing her cancer diagnosis, noting how she broke with the Palace's traditionally tight-lipped approach to medical information.
The magazine commended her decision to reduce royal duties to focus on her health.
"As a popular public figure, Middleton's revelation brought significant attention to cancer awareness and treatment, including the rise in early-onset cancers in patients under age 50," the TIME tribute stated.

She added: "Out of darkness can come light, so let that light shine through."
