No one really knows how Kate Middleton is doing as she undergoes preventative chemotherapy after her cancer diagnosis in February. The public was informed about her illness in mid-March after the Princess of Wales released a candid video. Since then, though, updates have come few and far between.

In the built up to the reveal of her caner diagnosis there were all manner of conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess. And although there hasn’t been any official update on her health, Prince William has spoken about his wife a few times. This past Wednesday, he gave the public a new morsel of information to chew on.

Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis announcement in March left royal fans worldwide in shock.

Kate Middleton revealed cancer diagnosis in emotional video

In an emotional video recorded in the Windsor Gardens, the Princess of Wales revealed details about the diagnosis and what will happen moving forward.

“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; however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” Kate said.

“This of course, came as a huge shock and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be okay.”

Kate has withdrawn from royal duties since last year. As stands, one knows when the Princess will return to work, and even though she seemed to put all her cards on the table with her brave aforementioned video, speculation about her health continues to swirl on the internet.

Royal source says Kate Middleton “may not appear in public for the rest of the year.”

Speaking with the Daily Beast, a royal source said that Kate’s diary remains “empty” for the rest of the year.

“Lots of people involved in planning need to know what all the principals are doing a long way in advance,” the source said.

“I am told that Kate’s diary for this year is empty. There is nothing planned. She may not appear in public for the rest of the year.”

An alleged friend of Kate and William, meanwhile, told the outlet that the Princess of Wales is prioritizing her mental health above all else.

“The key thing for her now is avoiding any kind of stress or anxiety and just getting on with the business of getting better,” the insider added. “They will bail out and be off to Sandringham the moment school breaks up.”

At the time of writing, the video in which Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis is the only time she has discussed her health in public.

Conspiracy theories ran rampant online during the days preceding the video’s release, and a source told the Daily Beast that a new video could be in the works.

“I would not rule out another video message updating the country on her health,” the insider said. “That proved to be a very effective way of keeping the conspiracy theorists at bay.”

By all accounts, Kate has spent most of her time recovering at Adelaide Cottage. At Easter, she and her family spent some time at their country home of Anmer Hall, far away from paparazzi and members of the public.

Kate Middleton rumored to be “considering” Trooping the Colour appearance

And though she might feel well enough to take on certain royal duties, reports suggest that one condition must be met before she returns.

“This is a clear commitment she has made that throughout her life of public service that this will be focus. That will continue when she returns to work. But we have been really clear that she needs the space and the privacy to recover right now. She will return to work when she has had the green light from doctors,” a royal aide told GB News.

While the Daily Mail reported last week that Kate Middleton is “considering” walking onto the balcony during the Trooping the Colour in mid-June, royal expert Angela Levin urged the Princess of Wales not to “rush her recovery.”

Reports have previously stated that Kate did some work on her projects from her hospital bed at the London Clinic as she recovered from surgery. Weeks ago, a spokesperson for Kate confirmed that she has been overseeing a project despite her preventative chemotherapy. Another senior royal aide described the Princess being a “driving force.”

Although Kate appears “keen” to be involved in projects close to her heart, Angela Levin projects it may be some time before we, the public, are afforded the opportunity to see her again.

“She needs boosting, we all miss her and want her back as soon as possible. She is working on her young children’s activities that try and help if they catch things while very young, you can save billions, not just millions, because they will know how to behave, how to be. And she’s very keen that that’s going ahead,” Levin told GB News.

Royal expert slams bombshell claim about Kate Middleton

The royal expert continued: “She’s read everything there, but she doesn’t mean that she’s coming back yet. But she is very thrilled with it. So we all have to wish that we do see her. We do miss her because she’s lovely and smiley and clever and all those things, and we hope she will come back. But it’s doubtful that she will come back until the end of the year.”
