Catherine held a planning meeting for Westminster Abbey on 24 September 2024, suggesting she is on the road to normality after a tumultuous year for the monarchy. It is safe to say that the royal family has always been involved in entertainment. She is usually seen at Westminster Abbey in early December attending a concert, suggesting that she may join Prince William and their children again this year.

On a more optimistic note, there are no plans to replace “Play It,” saying they are waiting for an update on Catherine’s Christmas carols, which could restore some stability after a challenging year for the British royal family and their global subjects. This week’s news suggests an upward trend for the princess. However, her public appearances may not return to their previous levels anytime soon, with fewer engagements than expected.

While there is much chatter on social media, it’s important to focus on what we know about Catherine’s coming months. As one of the most beloved members of the royal family, the palace shouldn’t rush her back to work. Despite her reduced public appearances this year, Katherine has been actively engaging with the public through two long-form videos, a new portrait, a personal statement, and numerous social media posts related to the cause.

This year has seen a subtle shift in how the Prince and Princess of Wales engage with the public. While there will still be some public appearances, we may see an increase in their online presence as in-person events are reduced. This serves two purposes: promoting a good cause and strengthening the royal brand. Catherine has worked closely with her doctors throughout her journey through the crisis.

Her trust in them is evident in her social media updates about her health. It seems the palace and her team have understood that rushing Catherine back into regular appearances would be detrimental to her recovery. Her transition back to her duties will be gradual, and we shouldn’t expect major changes overnight. It’s important not to pressure her or make her feel the need to rush into public approval.
