A royal biographer noted that part of her statement went against royal tradition. As the new year approaches, the 42-year-old will be taking part in a number of engagements, demonstrating that she can carry out her duties more effectively at home. This will allow her to avoid the stress of having to make up for lost time or return to a heavy workload. Sadly, the royal family has suffered a significant setback today, with many members losing support.
Recent polling data shows that support for several royals has dropped, including Princess Catherine, King Charles and Queen Camilla. The poll surveyed nearly 1,000 British adults aged 18 to 75 between 8 and 11 November. Princess Catherine remains the second most popular royal with a 64% approval rating, although that is down from 66% in September. King Charles has dropped five points, now viewed positively by more than half of respondents, down from 56%.
Queen Camilla has suffered the biggest drop, coming in sixth. Princess Anne has also seen a seven-point drop but remains popular. The only royal to maintain or improve her popularity is the Prince of Wales, who comes out on top with a score of 65%. The cancer diagnosis has had a significant impact on the family, casting a shadow over the year. However, there have been signs of improvement and hope for some relief at their gathering at Sandringham over the festive period. Catherine recently aimed to spread some Christmas cheer at a Taylor Swift-themed event in Southport. She invited them to her upcoming Christmas service at Westminster Abbey.
A source said she personally ensured that all those affected were invited, making the event particularly meaningful to her. It promises to be a night filled with life-affirming experiences, with detailed planning underway. Guests will be provided with transport and accommodation for three days, funded by Southward Stronger Together. This is an incredibly difficult time for everyone involved, and those who were present at the incident will suffer long-term effects. The royal family has been extremely supportive, with King Charles meeting victims and organising the concert amid the ongoing trauma.
Since finishing her chemotherapy, the princess has attended key royal events. Her gradual return to duty culminated in her appearance at Remembrance Sunday. The initial announcement of her cancer diagnosis in March had surprised many, especially given the speculation surrounding her health. Catherine’s demeanour and body language showed a noticeable change, reflecting her readiness to resume her role. At the Remembrance event, her expression darkened at the sound of Big Ben, in contrast to her obvious emotional state at the concert the night before. Her sadness was palpable, but she presented a strong, dignified presence that signalled deep reflection on her experiences.
