Princess Kate has attended a number of events recently

Kate Middleton recently cancelled her appearance at Royal Ascot amid her cancer recovery. Despite this, it seems Wimbledon may still be on the cards.

The Princess of Wales, 43, has made a careful return to royal duties in recent months.

Last year it was announced she would be undergoing chemotherapy treatment to treat an undisclosed form of cancer.

Now, it appears that Princess Kate is taking a mindful approach to her return to duties. Because of this, a royal commentator has said Kate “will not be rushed” as she navigates her recovery since revealing she is in remission, in January of this year.

In a new report, some light has been shed on Princess Kate’s return to the public eye.

Kate Middleton to prioritise balance amid cancer recovery

“The truth is that no-one still knows exactly why Catherine pulled out so suddenly, the incident has served to remind us that her return to duties remains something of a ‘work in progress,’” the Daily Mail‘s royal editor, Rebecca English alleged.

When discussing how Kate bowed out of attending Ascot and why the princess will not be “rushed” back into her role as the Princess of Wales, English highlighted just how difficult Kate’s recovery has been.

English noted Kate’s illness in her latest report, claiming that the unpredictable nature of her recovery likely caused a great deal of “fear” for Kate.

Undoubtedly, this has been a “gruelling” experience for the mother of three.

Kate Middleton’s next public appearance ‘revealed’

English claimed that as Princess Kate is traversing her return to normality, finding the right balance is key.

She went on to claim that Kate’s next public appearance is expected to be next week at Wimbledon. English stated: “That is why, I understand, we won’t see the princess in public this week. But we are ‘very likely’ to see her at Wimbledon, which starts Monday 30 June, in her role as royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.”

English also alleged that Kate is set to play a “significant” part in next month’s French State Visit at Windsor Castle.

Royal Insider has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.

What was Kate Middleton diagnosed with?

Citing her right to medical privacy, Kate didn’t disclos which form of cancer she was diagnosed with.

Kate did explain that she received her diagnosis following abdominal surgery in January 2024.

She went on to undergo preventive chemotherapy treatment. In January of this year, the Princess of Wales revealed she was in remission.

She has since made a phased return to the spotlight.
