After the holiday season, Kate Middleton usually has royal duties in January. This year was different, though.
For 2024, Princess Kate and Prince William have been very quiet. They had a busy tour with the royal family in December and over Christmas.
The Prince of Wales went outside once. The princess, who is 42 years old, was going to have surgery on her stomach the day before, the palace said on January 17.
She went back home to heal after almost two weeks in the hospital. After Easter, she should start going to public events again.
People online are worried about Princess Kate’s health since Prince William left a service for his late uncle without warning on Tuesday. This has made people think about the story.
A person close to the royal family said Kate “continues to be doing well” in rehab, but there are no new details. We only know that the situation did not end in death.
But King Charles is sick and doesn’t show up very often. The 75-year-old king had surgery on his prostate last month because it was swollen.
He told everyone on February 5 that he had cancer, but it probably wasn’t prostate cancer. He has been seen with Queen Camilla in church but not in public.
At Trooping the Colour, Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte, Prince William, Prince George, Prince Louis, and Prince Louis all show their spirit.
You can leave notes and read fan mail in a video while you’re working behind the scenes. Since she got better, Princess Kate hasn’t been seen in public.
Princess Kate wants the same thing for her three kids.
As she healed from surgery, Princess Kate said she wanted Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis to live their normal lives.
“The Princess of Wales is pleased that this statement will be of interest,” Kensington Palace said in the first statement. People would understand that she wants to keep things normal for her kids. Prince William skipped royal tasks to spend time with his family.
He said, “We know they are a very close family unit and he wants to be there for them.” Robert Hardman is the author of The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy.
“They help those kids feel like they’re not living in a bubble a lot of the time.” The Prince of Wales was going to pick up and drop off the kids at school with beloved babysitter Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.
Hardman said, “They look like a modern royal couple.” “More tasks used to be given out.” She won’t be in charge of everything, he says.
She would rather be alone.
King Charles told everyone that Princess Kate had cancer and had surgery on her prostate, but Princess Kate didn’t say anything.
At first, the palace said that Kate “wishes that her personal medical information remain private” about her care.
Our Royal Highness’s palace said, “We will only share new and important information about her progress when we have it.”
The Princess of Wales wants to get better on her own.
At first, people thought Princess Kate would need to stay in the hospital for 10–14 days after her surgery. Thirteen days later, on January 29, she was secretly let go. “The Princess of Wales is back in Windsor to heal from surgery.”
The Kensington Palace said, “She is making good progress.” There is a lot of care at The London Clinic, and the Prince and Princess are grateful for it.
People from all over the world have sent the Wales family well wishes, which they are still grateful for.
The royal family went back to Adelaide Cottage on Windsor. The palace says she will stay there to get better at least until March.
A person close to the royal family said, “It makes sense to take the time.” People are often told to go back to work early, which could be dangerous.
You show others how to do it. We’re all glad she’s taking her time to get better and come back. That’s something we can all learn from.
During a service on February 7, Prince William said that two “amazing and kind” nurses took care of his wife.
Kate felt good enough to go to Norfolk.
In February, while their kids were on break, the Princess of Wales and Prince William went to Anmer Hall on Sandringham in Norfolk. This looked good.
A source for the Daily Mail said Catherine is getting better. And she was excited for a change. In Norfolk, she can relax while the kids play with William.
Prince William is back to his royal tasks.
After taking a few weeks off, Prince Charles went back to his royal tasks while Princess Kate was in the hospital and recovering at home. February 7 saw him sworn in at Windsor Castle and the London Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner.
Prince William also said, “I’d like to take this chance to thank you for the kind messages of support for Catherine and my father, especially in the last few days.” We really value it.”
“It’s fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather medical focus,” Prince William said to make them laugh. To get away, I chose to go to an air aid event!”
According to a friend of Prince William, “He is coping remarkably well considering his wife had surgery and he only found out about his father’s news recently.”
During his kids’ school break, Prince William and Kate spent time together in Norfolk. He went to the BAFTAs and the British Red Cross offices and has since held another investiture.
Prince William felt bad that his wife couldn’t make it to the British Oscars. I’m sorry, Kate is not there. “She does love the BAFTAs,” he said, but he hadn’t seen all of this year’s nominees because he had “other things on my mind.”
Prince William cancels the official event even though Kate Middleton is “doing well” and getting better.
Princess Kate won’t be seen by the public again until Easter.
The palace said, “Based on the latest medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” after the Princess of Wales had surgery and was healing.
The royal family usually goes to Easter service, but no one knows if Kate will be there in late March. That year, their youngest child, Prince Louis, was born. It was the first time the Prince and Princess of Wales went as a family of five.
