Duchess Kate's rare public appearance amid cancer battle

Health issues for Kate Middleton have been electrifying the media for several months. In January, the 42-year-old was hospitalized for a planned abdominal surgery. At the end of March, the duchess announced her cancer diagnosis through social media.

Prince William's beloved has not appeared in public for the past few months. Kate has not performed royal duties, focusing mainly on treatment and recovery in the privacy of her home. Recently, however, the Duchess of Wales made a small exception and appeared at the official celebrations of the reigning monarch's birthday after nearly half a year of public absence.

The duchess's presence at Trooping the Colour caused quite a stir, but the palace is tempering emotions, stating that her attendance at King Charles's birthday should not be interpreted as her return to royal duties. However, the 42-year-old may begin appearing in public more frequently. According to royal commentator Emily Andrews, Kate's attendance at Wimbledon is possible until mid-July. It's worth noting that William's wife has been a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club for several years.

Her treatment is ongoing and will be for the next few months, but I understand she would like to visit the Wimbledon tennis tournament - she is a patron - if she feels up to it - stated the royal expert in an interview with "Grazia."

According to media reports, the royal couple plans to go on a summer vacation to Amner Hall in Norfolk with their children after the end of the school year. A close associate of Kate Middleton revealed in a conversation with "Grazia" that George, Charlotte, and Louis are the "main driving force" for the 42-year-old. The Duchess is now devoting her time to her children. According to Emily Andrews, Kate will return to her duties "gradually." The expert believes that King Charles's daughter-in-law will only resume her public duties in 2025.
