There is so much speculation around Kate Middleton and her health crisis, but the latest narrative shows just how serious her situation is. While we have no indication of how long the Princess of Wales will remain out of the public eye, it’s easy to figure out that she’s wisely taking the time to heal on the advice of her doctors.
She’s reportedly been “spotted running errands” around town, but her royal days as fans knew it may be over. When, and if, Kate decides to return to her duties, which Us Weekly sources are speculating it will be in the fall or “even next year,” royal watchers will have to get used to the idea that it will be a vastly different chapter for Kate. A royal insider confirmed to the media outlet what has been whispered in palace circles recently. Kate’s royal team is “reevaluating what she’s going to be able to take on when she comes back” because “she may never come back in the role that people saw her in before.”
Behind closed doors, Kate and Prince William are spending as much time together as they can “reconnecting” as a family while the royals take a hiatus in the wake of U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s unexpected call for an election in July. They are enjoying their country home, Anmer Hall at Sandringham Estate, with their three children, and the Middletons checking in on Kate as much as possible. She isn’t thinking about her royal engagements because her job is to regain her strength amid her recovery from cancer.
It will be up to the Princess of Wales’ palace staff to figure out what her senior royal role “will shape into” once she has clearance from her doctors, but the insider is warning it will likely “look very different.” The Us Weekly sources mirror the initial report shared by The Daily Beast with one royal insider noting that the palace was keeping Kate’s schedule clear. “Lots of people involved in planning need to know what all the principals are doing a long way in advance,” they shared. “I am told that Kate’s diary for this year is empty. There is nothing planned. She may not appear in public for the rest of the year.”
Fans could possibly expect “another video message updating the country on her health” because it’s a “very effective way of keeping the conspiracy theorists at bay.” Otherwise, Kate is going to continue to focus on her family and her health — her royal calendar will have to wait.
