Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is facing a challenging recovery as she continues her battle with cancer. Sources close to the royal family have disclosed that Kate, 42, is not expected to return to her full schedule of public engagements anytime soon, as she grapples with the aftermath of her devastating diagnosis earlier this year.
“It’s been a rough, rough time, a really difficult year for the entire family. And as she herself said, she is not out of the woods yet,” a royal insider shared. The direction of her recovery is positive, but those close to Kate are cautious about her return to public life, with no clear timeline in sight.
Kate made her fourth public appearance since her diagnosis over the weekend, appearing in a surprise video with her husband, Prince William, to congratulate British athletes who competed in the Paris Olympics. Despite looking tanned and relaxed, sources emphasize that Kate’s health remains the priority. “We are not there yet,” one insider noted. “When we last heard from her ahead of Trooping the Colour, she said her treatment was going on into the summer and that’s what’s happening.”
Kate’s health struggles have been ongoing for longer than the public realizes. While it is known that she underwent abdominal surgery in January and was diagnosed with cancer shortly afterward, insiders suggest that she has been unwell for much longer. “I don’t think people realize how much she has gone through behind the scenes and for how long,” another source explained. “She’s an incredibly strong woman, but she really has been through the wars. Her treatment and recovery is still a priority and will be ongoing for some time to come.”

As Kate continues her recovery, it is unlikely that she will make a full return to her royal duties in the near future. Instead, she is expected to focus on her family, including Prince William and their three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. “There is still nothing in her diary,” a royal insider told The Daily Beast. “The priority for her now is going to be family and the children. 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 first revealed her cancer diagnosis in March, after the illness was discovered in January. She began chemotherapy treatment in February. Before her recent video appearance, Kate was last seen at Wimbledon on July 14. The Princess’s health remains a closely watched topic as she continues her journey toward recovery.
