And it appears William has done just that, with the Prince of Wales taking on a greater number of duties in recent weeks alongside Queen Camilla, while the King and Princess continue to recover.

In the wake of Charles’ cancer diagnosis in February, and Kate’s in March, the royal family was faced with two senior working royals being out of commission for an extended amount of time, with both hoping that William could step in and carry some of the burden in their absence.

“[Kate] has been good in making sure that that happens,” Jobson told the publication. . “She’s shown him that she’s there for him as well as him there for her.”

Although Kate has primarily stepped back from public duties, in recent months fans were heartened to see her on two occasions over the summer, when she appeared in public at both Trooping the Colour and the Wimbledon finals. Kate also told well-wishers in June that she would still be out of action for a little while longer, as she “has a few more months” of treatment to complete.

There is currently no confirmed timescale for when Kate will be ready to return to public duty just yet, but as Jobson told Hello! magazine earlier this month, Kate has been adopting a “very calm” approach to her recovery so far.

“She’s a person who wants to find solutions and rise above the noise and the drama, and I think, given what she’s gone through, you don’t want to waste any time on noise, on drama, when you’ve had anything to do with your health,” he added. “You live day by day; you do the things you want to do.”
