According to all news, concerns are building around the world for the Princess of Wales amid reports she may not be back in public until 2025. Katherine is undergoing preventative chemotherapy, with William having scaled back his work for much of the year to support her, and with the King also undergoing treatment.
The week just passed marked five months exactly since the princess made her way through a Christmas morning church service in December 2023 before she announced her shock cancer diagnosis in March. Uncertainty surrounds the figure of the princess at this point, generating a whirlwind of speculation and rumors.
“I think that if the princess will want to be on top form when she comes back, she’ll want to be looking her best as well and feeling her best. I always wish we would see her before the end of the year,” said a source. However, the Daily Beast newspaper recently reignited the debate over the Princess of Wales’ absence with new speculation based on statements from a source close to the royal family.
Now the Wales family is on the move, with a friend of the prince and princess revealing that they are all set to relocate from Adelaide Cottage to their Georgian manor house in Norfolk for the duration of the upcoming half-term break. Lots of people involved in planning need to know what the principals are doing well in advance.
“I’m told that Katherine’s diary for the year is empty; there is nothing planned. She may not appear again in public for the rest of the year. If this is correct, that means 2024 might be the first year where the princess has not undertaken one official engagement.
Never before has such a senior working royal been wholly and utterly absent from public life for a full 12 months, if not more,” the source continued. This prolonged absence has prompted the Daily Beast to consult a friend of the princess, who suggests that she’s focusing on her mental health and well-being.
