Kate Middleton has slowly returned to her royal duties. The Princess Of Wales announced over the summer that she had completed chemotherapy and is now a cancer survivor.
Middleton made appearances in several communities that were hit hard by horrific tragedies. Princess Kate also met with a young woman battling cancer.
After these appearances, it has been confirmed that she will take a break from her royal duties to focus on her family life.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, will take several weeks off to spend time and bond with her children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who are on school holidays.
According to GB News, Kate Middleton will be back in November. The outlet confirmed: “Princess Kate is set for a short break during Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis’s two-week school half-term. The three royal children began on Friday, October 18, and will last until November 4. Prince William and Princess Kate’s children attend Lambook School as day students, unlike Prince William and Prince Harry, who attended a boarding school from age 8. The two-week break is considered family time, with their parents often taking lighter schedules when the children are off school. The Prince of Wales is expected to have fewer public engagements than last week when he made three significant visits, while Princess Kate’s next public appearance could come in November.”
Princess Kate has always placed her children at the top of her priorities, even when she was, to some extent, the public face of the monarchy.
Kate Middleton is resolute in her determination to raise her three children in a way that she believes is best for them. She wants them to have a sense of normality despite being royals.
Princess Kate’s desire to be with her children became urgent when she was hit with the disease. As a cancer survivor, time with her family has become even more precious.
While some see it as tricky or even a dilemma to be a royal and a present parent, Kate Middleton has decided to navigate the situation at her own pace and with velvet gloves.
Two decades ago, when Kate Middleton joined the Royal Family, she laid down the ground rules that she would be a hands-on mother. She made it clear that she would do fewer international engagements and would be present to either drop off or pick up her children from school—and she never budged from these strict rules.
Katie Nicholl, a royal author and journalist, told The Daily Mail: “As a dedicated parent, the Princess struggles to be away from her children. Despite being the Duchess and being able to afford around-the-clock nannies, she had her mum looking after Prince George and Princess Charlotte, which struck me as just normal. I could see how much comfort and confidence that gave her in getting on with her job, which she does brilliantly, but I think it is always such a wrench for her to leave her children behind.”
Princess Catherine can count on Prince William as she faces this dilemma.
