She could be putting her health at risk

A few weeks ago, Princess Kate (42) shared a moving video message in which she spoke about the end of her chemotherapy treatment. The video message was released just days before their first official meeting of the year at Windsor Castle, which is seen as a positive sign for her recovery.

Is Princess Kate attending too many appointments again?

In the message, Princess Kate warned that the road to full recovery would not be easy and expressed that in the coming months, she hoped to attend more public engagements.

Despite these positive developments, the late Queen's former press spokesman, Dickie Arbiter, advises caution. He told the British newspaper 'Express': "It will be a slow adjustment to getting back on duty and we mustn’t expect anything mammoth overnight."

Experts emphasize the need for a slow return

Arbiter emphasized that Kate shouldn't feel pressured to return to a busy schedule too quickly. "We shouldn’t be pushing her, and she certainly shouldn’t be pushing herself to keep people happy that she is coming back, she will do it gradually and in her time... She’s not out of the woods yet and we must allow her to pace herself."

Veteran royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams also highlighted how important it is for the future of the monarchy that Kate takes a gradual approach and sticks to medical advice. "It’s extremely important for the future of the monarchy that she adopts a gradual approach and does what she feels able to do, subject of course to medical advice," he said.

Which dates will Princess Kate attend?

Over the coming weeks and months, Princess Kate will be working closely with her team, which includes her Private Secretary Tom White and Deputy Private Secretary Natalie Burrows.

Together, they will strategically prepare for her gradual return to the public eye. Particular attention will be paid to important dates in the royal calendar, such as Remembrance Sunday on November 10. However, concrete decisions regarding her participation will only be made shortly before the respective events.
