Kate Middleton is focusing on her health as she continues preventative cancer treatment, putting her personal well-being above all else. The Princess of Wales has remained out of the public eye, despite widespread interest in her return to royal duties following a major health update she shared in a video message in late March.
While Kate may be addressing some important matters behind the scenes, she is not concerned with social engagements or meeting friends during this time. In addition to her health, Princess Kate is concentrating on maintaining a sense of normalcy for her young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
“Kate’s recovery is a one-day-at-a-time thing,” an insider told Life & Style. “She’s not putting any pressure on herself to do anything or see anyone because deadlines in a situation like this can make the recovery way more stressful. She doesn’t care truly what anyone thinks.”
She expressed that being the colonel “remains a great honor and I am very sorry that I’m unable to take the salute at this year’s Colonel’s Review,” concluding with hopes to represent the regiment “once again very soon.”
This update comes after the Princess issued an apology to the Irish Guards for missing the final rehearsal for Trooping the Colour, King Charles’ birthday parade. As the honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards, Kate expressed her pride in the regiment ahead of the Colonel’s Review and the main event.
Her absence underscores the seriousness of her health focus, highlighting the importance of self-care and family support during this challenging period. While the public eagerly anticipates her return, Kate’s current priority remains her health and her family’s well-being.
