Kate Middleton’s fans and well-wishers have been given an upsetting update about her health amid multiple reports regarding the Princess of Wales’ return to royal duties.
While reports suggest that Kate will not resume royal duties until next year, a palace insider revealed to Us Weekly that she may “never come back in the role that people saw her in before.”
Speaking with the publication, the senior palace aide mentioned that Kate’s recovery is “going well,” but she is “not able to see many people because she is susceptible to getting sick, and they don’t want her compromised, but she’s up and about.”
The aide explained that the mother-of-three, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, “needs the space and the privacy to recover right now,” adding, “She will return to work when she has had the green light from doctors.”
However, Kate’s team is “reevaluating what she’s going to be able to take on when she comes back,” the source noted, emphasizing, “She may never come back in the role that people saw her in before.”

“They’ve been reconnecting and are closer than ever,” the outlet shared about the couple.
Regarding Kate’s return, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams revealed that her decision to return will be based on medical advice and will be “very carefully balanced.”
Her health battle is “obviously tremendously draining,” he said, adding that her role, after resuming duties, may “look very different.”
