According to a recent report, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has decided not to make any public appearances for the remainder of the year as she continues her fight against cancer. An inside source revealed that Kate's diary for this year remains empty, indicating that she may not appear in public during this time.

A close friend of Middleton and her husband, Prince William, shared with the Daily Beast that her mental health has become a top priority. The insider emphasized that Kate is focused on avoiding stress and anxiety as she concentrates on her recovery. The couple is reportedly planning to spend the upcoming school break with their children at Sandringham.

Middleton is expected to retreat to Anmer Hall in Norfolk, England, where she will spend time with her family while undergoing treatment. Parents from the same school as Middleton's children noted that they haven't seen her attend any sports matches or school events in recent months. However, rumors suggest that she may have made discreet drop-offs at the school.

A courtier confirmed that Middleton is currently continuing her recovery at home, seeking privacy to prioritize her well-being, as she mentioned in her previous video message. The source also mentioned the possibility of Middleton sharing another digital update on her health with her fans in the near future.

The Duchess of Cambridge last addressed the public on March 22, expressing gratitude for the support received and requesting time, space, and privacy to complete her treatment. She did not disclose the specific type of cancer she is battling, but revealed that she is undergoing chemotherapy and that it is still in its early stages.

Before her health condition was revealed, Middleton had only been seen in public twice in 2024. The last official appearance was in December 2023 for a Christmas Day church service. These infrequent sightings had given rise to numerous conspiracy theories, which were later debunked when her health struggles came to light, reportedly upsetting Prince William.

While Middleton focuses on her recovery, Prince William has resumed his royal duties. The couple's representatives were contacted for comment but have yet to respond.

As the nation awaits further updates, supporters of the Duchess of Cambridge continue to wish her well in her battle against cancer, hoping for her swift return to public engagement once she has made a full recovery.
