King Charles III has been fighting against the narrative that he is absent during his battle with cancer, and Kate Middleton has decided to do the same.
However, her decision to clear the air has led to some confusion and a minor heartbreak. It has been weeks since Kate Middleton has been seen in public.
Last, Middleton was accompanied by her husband, Prince William, during a brief shopping trip to the local market.
Middleton is staying at Adelaide Cottage under the supervision of a medical team as she battles cancer and undergoes preventive chemotherapy.
This week, Middleton’s team issued a statement explaining that just because she is not seen in public does not mean she is not working behind the scenes.
Princess Kate is pushing a project near and dear to her heart: Her Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood.
This week, it was revealed that the Princess of Wales is the “driving force” behind a new report from her foundation requesting businesses to introduce more family-friendly working practices.
The Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood believes that “investing in early childhood could generate more than £45.5 billion ($58 billion) for the national economy each year.”
Her spokesman gladly shared: “The work of The Prince and Princess’ projects is “always on”…early childhood is a huge priority for The Princess, and so she has been kept fully updated throughout the development of the Taskforce’s work, and she has seen the report.”
A senior royal aide added: “The Princess of Wales was the driving force behind the business task force. She has been kept up to date since the task force’s inception, and she has read the report and been briefed on it. This is a clear commitment she has made throughout her life of public service that this will be the focus. That will continue when she returns to work. But we have been clear that she needs the space and the privacy to recover right now. She will return to work when she has had the green light from doctors.”
The positive news about Middleton being the force behind the project and the study came with a sad and heartbreaking revelation. The rep explained that the future Queen of England would not be seen or heard from for a while.
The Daily Mail shared: “A Kensington Palace spokesman also stressed that the news should not be seen as Kate returning to work after undergoing major abdominal surgery and revealing she was undergoing ‘preventative chemotherapy’ for cancer. She has not undertaken public engagements at all this year. But they confirmed that she has been across every aspect of the report from home, despite her illness.”
The rep’s statement about Middteon’s working from home might also be a way to push back on King Charles and Queen Camilla‘s decision to pal around with Rose Hanbury at major royal events suddenly.
