Now a devoted mother of three, she is looking forward to re-entering the public eye and resuming her duties. A source said Catherine is looking forward to taking a break from hospital treatments. This month, there was an update on Prince William's travel plans after their summer break. While she is feeling better, her recovery will take time, but she plans to resume a light engagement schedule. They are also expanding their team at Kensington Palace.
Princess Catherine is expected to attend Remembrance Sunday with her family and Christmas at Sandringham. If she does attend these events, it will be significant as there is currently no official date confirmed for her full return to royal duties. However, many royal watchers do not expect her to be present at the Earthshot Prize Awards in November, which will take place in Cape Town, South Africa. Catherine values her relationships with people, considering them one of the most fulfilling aspects of her royal role.
She misses these interactions and hopes that doctors will soon clear her to return to public engagements. She has pledged to wait for the go-ahead from her medical team before taking any steps, as the issue has made Catherine’s life difficult and made public appearances more difficult. The story of the good days and the bad days has shaped her journey to recovery. Over the summer, Catherine has been enjoying time with William and the children at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. Those close to her insist she is under no pressure to rush back into public life, understanding the long road ahead. Reports say Catherine will continue to work from her home in Windsor.
She plans to continue meetings with palace staff and representatives from charities she supports, such as the Royal Foundation and the Early Childhood Centre. A spokesperson for her has made it clear that updates on her direct work will only be shared when appropriate, although she will meet regularly with her team to discuss future initiatives. Kensington Palace is actively looking for a new communications officer to manage communications activities related to engagements. The job includes developing communications plans for royal engagements and handling media requests.
The full-time role will involve travelling between royal residences in the UK and abroad while working primarily from Kensington Palace, requiring caution when handling sensitive information. Catherine made a highly anticipated public appearance at Trooping the Colour, marking her first official event since Christmas Day 2023. She received a warm welcome at Wimbledon on 14 July, where she was greeted with applause. While Kensington Palace has yet to announce her next official engagement, both Prince William and Princess Catherine have returned from their summer holidays, with William continuing his royal duties while Catherine gradually returns to the public eye.
