<p id=”par-1_55″>A new report claims that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/kate-middleton/”>Kate Middleton</a>‘s <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kate-middleton-unwell-longer-previously-believed-seriously-ill-princess-continues-battle-cancer-report.html/?swcfpc=1″>cancer recovery</a> may be a “long journey’ that could see the Princess of Wales not resuming a full-time schedule for quite some time. Those closest to the princess believe that continuing to prioritize her health will allow her to fully resume the work she enjoyed before her diagnosis.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-kate-middleton-has-a-long-journey-to-a-full-cancer-recovery”>Kate Middleton has a ‘long journey’ to a full cancer recovery</h2>
<p id=”par-2_56″><a href=”https://www.thetimes.com/uk/royal-family/article/kate-princess-wales-return-royal-news-hrkjlrkdg” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sunday Times</a> Roya Nikkhah reports Kate Middleton will continue her abbreviated presence as a frontline royal as she remains under treatment for cancer. She reports that while there is hope for a November appearance by the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kate-middletons-comfort-blanket-top-the-secret-reason-wears-the-same-style-again-and-again.html/?swcfpc=1″>Princess of Wales</a>, royal watchers can expect a likely return to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kate-middletons-life-altering-cancer-recovery-signals-monarchy-power-shift.html/?swcfpc=1″>full-time royal duties</a> in the months after that.</p>
<p id=”par-3_41″>The Times reports, “But if she continues to have more ‘good days,’ it is understood she has set her sights on ‘potentially’ joining the king and the royal family at the Cenotaph for the National Service of Remembrance on November 10.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_64″>The report states that Kate’s private secretaries and the Waleses’ communications secretary are “holding more regular meetings” with Kate so they can “plan for the future.” However, The Times quotes those close to Kate saying there is “no expectation for her to rush back” to public life. A friend told the news outlet, “People know and understand it is a long journey to recovery.”</p>

<p id=”par-5_42″>On March 22, 2024, Kate Middleton released a video statement on<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C402JKPtLVB/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> Instagram</a> to clear up rumors regarding her health after being hospitalized for a scheduled abdominal surgery earlier in the year. She explained she had cancer but did not disclose the type.</p>
<p id=”par-6_27″>Kate stated, “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_37″>She continued, “However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_39″>The princess updated the public on her health in June, one day before her first public appearance with the royal family at Trooping the Color, King Charles’ birthday parade. Again, she used Instagram as a<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C8NCRQKt4fA/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> vehicle for her message</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-9_71″>She wrote, “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days, you feel weak and tired, and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well. My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.”</p>

The Royal Family: Is it Falling Apart 2 Years After Queen Elizabeth’s Death? </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-10_47″>As the holiday season approaches, Kate Middleton will likely be more visible presence among other senior royals. Her last public appearance was at the men’s final at Wimbledon in July, where she handed Novak Djokovic his runner-up trophy and Carlos Alcaraz his second consecutive Wimbledon championship trophy.</p>
<p id=”par-11_61″>If Kate does appear at the National Service of Remembrance in November, it would be the first of three annual events the royal family attends. For several years, she has headed the “Together at Christmas” carol service at Westminster Abbey in December. Kate joins the royal family at Christmas church services at St. Mary Magdalene Church near Sandringham House in Norfolk.</p>
<p id=”par-12_52″>While it remains uncertain when Kate will return as a frontline royal, there is a good chance that, as her recovery continues to progress, royal watchers will see her in a more formal capacity in 2025. The royal family has not commented on when Kate Middleton will return to full-time royal duties.</p>
