More than two months have passed since last March 22nd Kate Middleton announced, in a courageous video message, that she had cancer and had started preventive chemotherapy treatments, after having undergone major abdominal surgery. The princess said she wanted to focus on treatments and things that can help her heal, in her mind, body and spirit. The future queen has since disappeared from the royal scene and she has no longer participated in any public engagements.
Just a few days ago, Kensington Palace, sharing the princess’s behind-the-scenes enthusiasm for the results achieved with the work of her Early Childhood Foundation, gave important updates on Kate’s return to royal duties. «The princess will not return to her duties until doctors give her the all-clear. This year you have not participated in any public engagements.” The news immediately threw royal fans into despair as they expected to see the future queen again at least in one of the next important events on the royal agenda, including the Trooping the Colour, the parade in honor of the king’s birthday scheduled for 15 June. Instead, subjects and royal fans will have to wait a little longer before seeing Kate again in an official capacity.
The Princess of Wales will return to work in September
Although there is no precise date yet for her return to work, sources close to the royal say that her reappearance may not occur before next autumn, when she will have fully recovered. This was revealed by the Daily Mail columnist, Richard Eden, in a long article explains what is happening behind the scenes at Kensington Palace, trying to calm the impatient minds of the princess’s admirers and to put an end to the incessant conspiracy theories that continue to raise alarm about the princess’ health conditions.
Why William and Kate Middleton arrived late to King Charles’ coronation, making him nervous
The royal biographer Robert Hardman illustrated the background of the day and what the hypotheses are to explain this inconvenience
The words spoken by Prince William’s wife in her March video message remain valid and her objective has not changed. “My work has always brought me deep joy and I look forward to returning when I can, but now I need to focus on my full recovery.” Precisely to give the princess space, time and privacy to take care of herself as best as possible, the work that Kate shares with her husband has also been put on hold. “No one wants to put pressure on Catherine,” a source revealed to Richard Eden. «The only thing that matters at the moment is that she gets better. She is going through an ordeal this year.”
This means that even important decisions regarding, for example, the appointment of new staff are postponed to a later date. Richard Eden recalls that Galles had intended to hire a new CEO (Chief Executive Officer) who would be responsible for around 60 members of staff. The new boss would have reported directly to the royal couple and, new, would not have responded to the private secretaries who have long held power behind the scenes of the royal palaces. Kensington Palace had entrusted an important recruitment company, Odgers Berndtson, with the search for this new figure, but after everything that happened from January onwards, everyone’s attention is on the princess’s recovery and any appointment has been suspended.
Kate is facing treatment like a warrior
“Giving the Princess all the time she needs to recover shows the importance Her Royal Highness has for the future of the monarchy,” a source told the Daily Mail reporter, adding that “As sovereign, the King is in a very different position to that of the Princess of Wales. The king was very keen to return to public, while this is not the same for Kate. There is no need for her to be seen while she is undergoing cancer treatment.”
Therefore his absence should not necessarily be interpreted as a bad sign regarding his health conditions. Indeed, Prince William has always given positive feedback to people who asked him how the princess was saying, in various public outings, that things at home were progressing well. And if her face doesn’t lie, we can say that we have seen it, in her latest commitments, with a more relaxed, relaxed and smiling look, a further sign that gives hope for Catherine. Even the English journalist of the Daily Mail, Rebecca English, recently gave some news that gives hope. “Incidentally, I have been told by multiple sources that the Princess of Wales has been seen out and about more often in recent weeks.”
