Today, royal fans collectively breathed a sigh of relief as Kate Middleton announced that she has completed her preventative chemotherapy. The news brought a wave of celebration, and many are now eagerly awaiting her return to public duties.
Although the Princess of Wales plans to resume her royal responsibilities, insiders reveal that she will be doing so with a reduced schedule. For now, Middleton is prioritizing her well-being.
A source shared with People, “She enjoyed a lovely summer and is very focused on her health. She will definitely be scaling back her commitments.” Kate’s announcement came through a heartfelt video on social media, where she, along with her husband Prince William, and their children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—appeared in a touching display of family unity.
People report that Kate Middleton is expected to attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies with the royal family in November and is also believed to be preparing for her annual carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December.
The publication adds that her plans for 2025 will be guided by medical advice. Additionally, Kate is eager to engage in a few public appearances over the next few months as her schedule allows, though fans should anticipate a “lighter schedule” for the Princess of Wales.
Kate previously revealed that her chemotherapy journey included both “good days” and “bad days.” Until now, the palace had kept updates about her treatment private. Since announcing her need to step back from royal duties to focus on her recovery, Kate has made only a few public appearances: the 2024 Trooping the Colour, this year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament in July, and a church outing with Prince William near Balmoral Castle in August.
