Princess Kate is “wanting to return” to royal duties full time but is “being restrained” as she is still receiving cancer treatment, it has been claimed.
The Princess of Wales has been absent from core royal engagements for the majority of this year, after announcing her cancer diagnosis shortly after King Charles.
In recent months, the princess confirmed she is “not out of the woods yet” but returned to the public eye at June’s Trooping the Colour, and more recently presented the Wimbledon trophy alongside daughter Princess Charlotte.
Discussing reports that the royal could be back in full time work by the Autumn, royal editor Ingrid Seward cast doubt on the claims, and said the Princess is “still receiving treatment”.
Seward told GB News: “I actually don’t think she is going to be back to full time duties by the autumn.
“Catherine is still recovering and she’s still having treatment, but we will be seeing her at big royal events.”
Noting the impact of Kate’s continued preventative chemotherapy, Seward stressed that the royal will still “mostly work from home”, and only appear at events if she is “feeling up to it”.
Seward added: “She’s still having the cancer treatment, and as she said earlier this year, she has good days and bad days.”
Sharing her thoughts on the Prince and Princess of Wales appearing in a special video message for Team GB at the Paris Olympics, Seward said it “makes all the difference” for royal fans to see Kate in high spirits.
