Kate Middleton might never return to her previous royal duties after her cancer treatment, according to a recent report by Nika Shakhnazarova. Since announcing her diagnosis in March, the Princess of Wales has largely stayed out of the public eye.
Kate, who is undergoing preventative chemotherapy, is currently reassessing her future responsibilities within the royal family. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams mentioned that her return to duties will depend on medical advice and will be carefully managed.
This report follows earlier claims that Middleton, 42, may not make any public appearances as a working royal for the remainder of the year. A royal insider told The Daily Beast that her schedule for the year is empty, suggesting she might remain out of the public eye.
In a video message on March 22, Kate revealed her cancer was discovered during a planned abdominal surgery in January, and she is now undergoing preventative chemotherapy. Despite the speculation, a family friend recently shared that Kate is feeling better and responding well to treatment. This time away from public duties has reportedly been beneficial for her health.
Throughout this challenging period, her family, including her husband Prince William, who has been supported by a new “inner circle,” has been a significant source of support.
