Back in August 2004, Kate looked like she didn't have a care in the world - perhaps safe in the knowledge that she had snagged the world's number one eligible bachelor. The couple met at University of St Andrews, Scotland, in 2001, when Kate was in her first year. From around Christmas of 2003 to April 2007, she and Prince William were involved in a relationship that was subjected to intense media attention. But at the Game Fair at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, Kate seemed to be bearing up to the pressure pretty well and has rarely been seen without a smile for the cameras since. There have been rumours that the couple have already taken the next major step in their relationship. Miss Middleton has supposedly moved into Clarence House, and given the keys to her Chelsea flat to her sister, Pippa. Will a ring on the finger be next?

Princess Kate Middleton will not return to the spotlight until fall 2024 as she focuses on recovering from her battle with cancer, according to a new report. “No one wants to put any pressure [on Kate],” royal expert Richard Eden told Daily Mail on Thursday, May 23. “The only thing that matters at the moment is her getting better. She has been through an ordeal this year. What this means in practice is that big decisions, such as the appointment of new staff, can wait.”

The Princess of Wales shared her diagnosis back in March — explaining that after a successful abdominal surgery had taken place in January 2024, doctors found the disease in her system. Since then, Kate has remained on top of her health. “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” said Kate. “We hope that you’ll understand that as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment. … My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I’m able. But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery,” stated the princess.

Earlier this month, Prince William gave a brief update on the health status of Kate after being asked during the opening of James Place Newcastle. “All doing well, thank you …We’re all doing well,” he responded to a spectator.

Despite being M.I.A. when it comes to “duty calls,” Kate has been working with her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. According to a representative – who told Daily Mail this week – she is looking forward to the next stages of her work alongside the foundation. “This is a clear commitment she has made that throughout her life of public service that this will be focus. That will continue when she returns to work … But we have been really clear that she needs the space and the privacy to recover right now. She will return to work when she has had the green light from doctors,” a Kensington Palace spokesperson voiced.
