New Delhi: Royal Princess Kate Middleton, who is battling cancer, may never come back to her royal duties, a US news portal has reported, citing sources.
In a report, US Weekly said that she “may never come back in the role that people saw her in before,” citing sources.
The Princess of Wales was once front and centre on royal engagements with her husband, Prince William. The insider added that Kate is currently “reevaluating what she’s going to be able to take on when she comes back” after she underwent preventative chemotherapy as part of her treatment.
Even royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that when Kate does return to her royal duties, “it will be (based) on medical advice, and it will be very carefully balanced”. The report comes just weeks after a source claimed that Middleton, 42, may not appear publicly as a working royal for the rest of the year.
Earlier last month, a source told The Daily Beast that Kate Middleton’s diary for this year is empty. “There is nothing planned. She may not appear in public for the rest of the year,” the source was quoted as saying.
The insider further added that he would not rule out another video message updating the world about Kate Middleton’s latest health status.
In a recent public appearance, Prince William provided an update on his wife’s courageous battle against cancer. The Princess of Wales was recently seen in Portsmouth alongside Queen Camilla and King Charles at the commemorations for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
The Royal Family participated alongside well-known British lawmakers and military veterans at the D-Day gathering. The king gave a moving address followed by Prince William. They later interacted with the veterans, listening to their memories of the operation. In a captured moment, William conversed with one veteran who affectionately inquired about Kate.
He replied, “Yes… she would have loved to have been here today.” William added, “I was reminding everybody, her grandmother served at Bletchley so she would have had quite a bit in common with a few of the other ladies here who served at Bletchley but never spoke about it until the very end.”
Despite her family connection, Princess Kate missed the ceremony due to ongoing preventative chemotherapy treatments.
