While Levin argues that Kate Middleton’s royal return might take some time, a royal source suggested to Us Weekly that the Princess of Wales “may never come back in the role that people saw her in before.”

The conspiracy theories surrounding her cancer diagnosis – as well as what really happened regarding the infamously ‘manipulated’ Mother’s Day picture she posted and later apologized for – have been ongoing for months.

As such, the bombshell claim in Us Weekly from the anonymous source can be interpreted as alarming. But one royal expert, Christopher Andersen, author of The King, says royal fans shouldn’t “not jump the gun.”

“Kate is undergoing cancer, and it’s perfectly understandable that she’s out of the picture for the moment,” Andersen told Fox. “There is no doubt in my mind that Kate will return to public life once she’s satisfied that she’s done everything her doctors have told her to do to defeat her illness.”

“Kate is all about her family, but she is also all about duty to her country,” the expert continued.

“She is keenly aware of the roles she plays as Princess of Wales, the future queen, wife of a future king and mother to a future monarch. Kate didn’t spend 10 years waiting to land her prince so that she could eventually recede into the shadows.”

Prince William gives update on Kate Middleton’s recovery

Expert Angela Levin made a similar argument, adding that Kate could possibly become even more popular once she returns to royal duty.

At the same time, Levin took caution to add that it will be “difficult” for the Princess of Wales upon her return.

“….because if you’ve been quite alone or just with a very small number in your family for a while, to then burst out with hundreds, millions of people who want to see her and shout and cheer it will be difficult,” Levin told GB News.

“So she’s got to pace it. I think she will because she’s pacing things now. She doesn’t want to push herself too far, but I think that will be quite difficult for her.”

Thus far, Kate’s video revealing the cancer diagnosis is the only official update that has been given. Yet Prince William has given members of the public at least some insight into his wife’s recovery while on his various royal engagements.

The latest one came just days ago, when the future king met World War II veterans in Portsmouth, England, to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

One veteran asked William whether Kate was “getting any better.”

In response, William said, “Yes,” adding, “she would’ve loved to be here today.”

Prince William took on a significant portion of responsibility for the couple’s children when Kate spent 13 days at the London Clinic post-surgery. He was also forced to perform a number of royal duties outside of his regular schedule as he stepped in for his father, King Charles, who is also undergoing cancer treatment.

Prince William and Kate Middleton “closer than ever,” royal insider claims

In mid-April, William officially returned to royal duties, and many royal fans took the opportunity to wish Kate well when they met him.

Needless to say, this year has been challenging for William and Kate, as well as their three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, according to a royal insider, William and Kate have become “closer than ever”.

“The announcement that the royals won’t be able to work as much has been unexpected, but it will allow Kate and William to spend more time together,” a source told Us Weekly.

“Kate’s feeling strong enough to be very involved with the kids,” the insider added. “She’s been an active parent.”
