Kate Middleton recently addressed her absence from public life in a pre-recorded video, revealing that doctors discovered cancer during routine tests before her planned abdominal surgery. The Palace has yet to comment on her return to royal duties.

Despite her current absence, Kate is “excited” about a new project set to launch soon. The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which she leads, will unveil a report from eight British firms. This report highlights how businesses can support young children and their caregivers and could potentially boost the UK economy by £45.5 billion annually.

A senior royal aide commented, “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 Kate is dedicated to her work, she needs “space and privacy to recover” before returning to her royal duties. Her health remains a topic of public interest and hope for her swift return.
