As rumors swirl about King Charles potentially abdicating, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has been offered heartfelt advice regarding her role in the monarchy and her family.
After quietly returning to work for the first time since completing chemotherapy, Kate has been encouraged to prioritize both her health and her family’s well-being, according to royal insiders.
Dickie Arbiter, Queen Elizabeth’s former press secretary, emphasized that any future royal engagements Kate undertakes will be carefully considered based on guidance from her medical team.
“It’s not just about the monarchy or the United Kingdom,” Arbiter shared with the Daily Express.
“It’s also about her family, and they must come first.” His comments reflect the growing sentiment within royal circles that Kate’s health and well-being should take precedence.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams echoed Arbiter’s sentiments, stressing the importance of a measured approach as the Princess resumes her duties. “It’s crucial for the future of the monarchy that she adopts a gradual return to work, guided by her medical team,” Fitzwilliams stated. “The priority must remain her health, and her primary goal should be staying cancer-free.”
Kate’s return to royal duties was first reported by The Telegraph, noting that she has already resumed key responsibilities. One of her first engagements back was holding an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle, reflecting her continued dedication to causes close to her heart, even while balancing her recovery.
As Kate navigates her royal role and personal health, the support and advice from those around her emphasize the importance of a careful and compassionate approach to her duties.
