Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been spotted “out and about” with her family and Prince William while undergoing preventative chemotherapy, as reported by Daily Mail. The royal has not been seen performing any official public duties since the Christmas Day event, leading to speculation about when she might resume her public engagements.
Sources close to the palace revealed that Kate wanted to share the news about her cancer diagnosis through a videotape to assure people that she was doing well. While conflicting reports suggest she could return as early as autumn or possibly not until the new year, royal insiders have confirmed that no official comeback date has been planned.
In a recent update, Prince William and Kate announced that the Princess of Wales would resume her royal duties with a “special film.” Vanity Fair reported that Kate has “turned a corner” with her treatment and is feeling significantly better. The outlet noted that she is tolerating the medication well and is on the path to recovery.
Despite the speculations, Kate is not rushing to return to her official duties. A royal insider mentioned to Vanity Fair that there is no timeline or pressure on her to come back to work until she feels ready and gets the green light from her medical team. The focus remains on her health and well-being during this challenging time.
In the meantime, the palace made a significant move by removing Prince Harry’s 2016 message defending his then-girlfriend, Meghan Markle, from their official website. The decision comes amidst ongoing media scrutiny surrounding the couple’s relationship.
