Kate Middleton has been the hottest trending topic since Kensington Palace announced her medical leave back in January. However, her absence from the public eye in a formal capacity may be coming to an end as palace insiders reveal that a date has been set for her return.
Even though the original announcement about her health speculated that she would be back in her working role sometime “after Easter,” it looks like Easter Sunday, March 31, will be the big day, according to The Daily Beast sources. There had been rumors that the Princess of Wales would wait until “after the kids Easter holidays have finished,” but she will likely be with her family as they attend church services. One of Kate’s pal revealed, “She is doing well. Everything is on track. Easter will be the big bang moment.”
The outlet even hinted that her fashion would be “a show-stopping set piece, heralding her return to public life.” The royal family knows that all eyes have been aimed at the palace, so why not make it into a fashion moment as well? A former palace staffer also noted that Easter was “the natural choice” for Kate to mark her reappearance, and a second former royal employee believes that it’s going to give the royal family a “powerful dose of continuity.” And boy, could the royal family use it.
With King Charles III unlikely to attend church services while he’s undergoing cancer treatment, the palace could use a boost of good PR. The headlines have marked a noted turn in coverage that hasn’t worked in their favor — and social media has not been their friend as the conspiracy theories multiply faster than any publicist could ever keep up with. The Queen Elizabeth II mantra of “Never complain, never explain” doesn’t work anymore and a source for The Times is recommending that Kate and Prince William learn “to be clear and more open” with the public in the future.
Hopefully, her reported Easter return will stop the rumors and conspiracy theories, but the royal family has some work ahead of them as they repair their public image. With respected news agencies believing that they are no longer “a trusted source,” their critics will now be giving a side-eye to every move they make.
