Recent reports suggest that Prince William has taken a firm grip on decision-making regarding Kate Middleton’s public engagements, particularly in light of her ongoing health challenges.
Insights shared by a former royal butler, who spent years in Buckingham Palace, shed light on William’s protective role and influence over Kate’s public appearances.
According to OK magazine, the royal butler, Mr. Burrell, emphasized that while Kate acknowledges the public’s interest in her presence, it is Prince William who ultimately determines whether she is fit enough to step into the limelight again.
“William controls this household and William will decide whether she’s well enough to do this because he’s the one that protects the family — fiercely,” Mr. Burrell stated.
The former employee highlighted William’s staunch protection of Kate, stressing, “There’s no way he’s going to subject Kate to intrusion that she can’t handle. He’s so fiercely protective.”
This sentiment underscores William’s commitment to shielding Kate from undue stress or scrutiny, especially in her vulnerable state.
Moreover, Mr. Burrell expressed confidence in Kate’s recovery and potential future appearances, particularly expressing hope for her involvement at Wimbledon where she serves as the Club’s patron.

As Prince William continues to steer the course for both his family and the monarchy, his protective stance over Kate Middleton underscores their strong bond and his commitment to her health and happiness amidst the demands of royal life.
