Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has no planned engagements in her diary for the rest of 2024, according to a new report. Undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment, Kate has made only two public appearances this year.
A recent health update suggests that her limited appearances signal positive progress in her recovery. “Kate has been exceptionally open and honest about her health. Making two appearances before the summer break, at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, was a clear signal that she is doing well,” a source told the Daily Beast.
The source added, “That is what we are hearing privately as well—it’s not over, but there is lots of optimism, lots of positivity. It is obviously still an incredibly worrying time, but all the signs are that her cancer treatment, which is ongoing, is progressing well.”
Despite the encouraging news, the insider noted that there are no further public engagements scheduled for Kate this year. “There is still nothing in her diary. My understanding is that people are going to have to get used to seeing a lot less of Kate. The priority for her now is going to be family and the children. The youngest of those kids, Louis, is only six. Like a lot of people who have a brush with mortality, Kate is going to prioritize the things that matter to her from now on. In her case, that means her kids.”
Kate made her first official public appearance on June 15 at Trooping the Colour, accompanied by her three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. Her second outing of the year was on July 14 during the men’s singles final at Wimbledon, where she was joined by Princess Charlotte and her sister, Pippa Matthews.
Princess Kate is reportedly set to travel to Scotland this summer to join members of the royal family at Balmoral, as her medical team has given her the green light for travel. As Kate focuses on her health and family, her absence from public duties highlights the importance of prioritizing personal well-being and cherished relationships during challenging times.
