Kate Middleton has not been seen in public since she announced she was battling cancer on March 22, 2024. It has been two months without any updates on her health, causing concern about her absence.
The Princess of Wales shared a video on Instagram in March 2024, revealing her cancer diagnosis. Before this, she had not been seen since Christmas Day, 2023.
In her video, Kate said, “We hope you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work brings me joy, and I look forward to returning when I am able. For now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”
Since then, there has been no news from the palace. Prince William mentioned during a visit to the Isles of Scilly that Kate is doing “well.”
Former BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole expressed concern about Kate’s absence, saying, “I do worry about Catherine.” He noted that she initially said she would return to public life after Easter.
Richard Eden, a royal columnist for the Daily Mail, reports that Kate’s return to public life might not happen until autumn. He emphasized that Kate’s health is the priority and she should take the necessary time to recover.
In her March video, Kate mentioned she was in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy but did not share more details about her treatment.
Kate’s announcement had a significant impact. Following her video, visits to the Macmillan Cancer Support website increased. There was also a surge in search results for “enlarged prostate” after King Charles revealed his treatment for the condition, raising awareness about the disease.
