Kate Middleton may never return to royal duties due to cancer

Kate Middleton, who announced she had cancer in March, may never return to royal duties due to her illness. This was reported by an insider from Us Weekly.

Now Kate, according to palace sources, is feeling better. "Kate's recovery is going well. She can't see a lot of people because her immune system is compromised and she might be infected with something and they don't want to put her at risk, but she's fine," sources said.

However, it is premature to make predictions about when the Princess of Wales will appear in public again: for example, one of the sources claims that this will definitely not happen before the end of the year.

According to another insider, Kate's team is "reconsidering how many responsibilities she can take on when she returns": "She may never return in the role that people saw her in before."

In January, Kate Middleton, according to official palace reports, underwent abdominal surgery, after which she stopped appearing in public. Fans of the Princess of Wales were wary: they attributed her absence not to health problems, but to personal problems. As a result, many conspiracy theories have appeared online about what really happened to the Princess of Wales and whether she is even alive. To stop these speculations, Kate had to make a video message in which she said that she had been diagnosed with cancer. The video was considered suspicious by many, but there have been no other official comments from the palace about her health since then. Many still do not believe in her illness and believe that the situation around Kate is more serious than claimed.

In addition to Kate, King Charles III is also currently battling cancer. However, unlike his daughter-in-law, he appears in public and continues to perform royal duties, albeit to a lesser extent.
