While the Princess of Wales has many passions—breaking the stigma of mental health issues is one of the issues close to her heart—she has also set up The Centre for Early Childhood. Kate’s foundation explores the importance of a child’s early years in developing into adulthood – and last week, a new report from the center was released.

A spokesperson for Kate Middleton said she has been overseeing the project despite her preventative chemotherapy – and another senior royal aide stated that the princess has been a “driving force.”

“This should not be seen as a return to work “

“The work of The Prince and Princess’ projects is ‘always on’…early childhood is a huge priority for The Princess, and so she has been kept fully updated throughout the development of the Taskforce’s work, and she has seen the report,” a Kate Middleton spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

A senior royal aide told GB News: “The Princess of Wales was the driving force behind the business task force. She has been kept up to date since the inception of the task force, and she has read the report and been briefed on it.”

While there has been no news—except for Prince William a while ago saying Kate is “doing well”—on Kate’s possible return to royal duty, the news on her childhood project is giving royal fans hope that she could return.

However, GB News’ royal correspondent Cameron Walker says this “should not be seen” as Kate is back.

Speaking on GB News, host Isabel Webster said: “It’s characteristically Catherine, isn’t it? To say she wasn’t doesn’t want to distract from this report by having people talking about her health. We should start probably by saying she said she’s not feeling well enough to come out and talk about this in public, but she is saying she’s watching it, keeping a close eye from behind closed doors.”
