Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has no planned engagements for 2024 as she continues her cancer treatment, according to a recent source. Despite making two public appearances earlier this year, Middleton is set to focus on spending time with her three young children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
A royal insider disclosed to The Daily Beast that it appears unlikely Kate will attend any more public events this year following her appearances at Trooping the Colour and the Wimbledon men’s final. The insider noted, “Kate has been exceptionally open and honest about her health. Making two appearances before the summer break, at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, was a clear signal that she is doing well.”
The source added, “That is what we are hearing privately as well—it’s not over but there is lots of optimism, lots of positivity.” They further emphasized that despite ongoing concerns, “all the signs are that her cancer treatment, which is ongoing, is progressing well.”
Another Buckingham Palace insider revealed, “There is still nothing in her diary. My understanding is that people are going to have to get used to seeing a lot less of Kate.” This insider also shared that Kate’s focus will shift to her family, particularly her youngest child, Prince Louis, who is just six years old.
The Princess’s decision to prioritize her family and health reflects a commitment to her well-being and that of her children during a challenging period. While her public appearances will be limited, the positive updates about her health offer hope and reassurance to her supporters.
