Following the diagnosis of an unspecified form of cancer, Princess Kate has scaled back her royal duties, prioritizing her health and family. While she continues to make strides in her recovery, a family friend suggests she is not yet back to her previous normal. The princess's work as a full-time royal previously involved numerous public engagements and charitable endeavors, alongside family commitments with her husband Prince William.

“She won’t be going back to work in the same way for a long time,” the insider said. “You can’t go through something like that and come out the other side unchanged. She is a different person now.” A family friend told the magazine that Princess Kate “is not back to normal,” but there are signs of “light at the end of the tunnel.

Following the queen’s death in September 2022, William and Kate launched new projects and began ramping up their engagement schedules, with the hope of taking on more of the royal workload, so it came as a surprise in January 2024 when the princess’s public-facing work came to a halt. She was eventually hospitalized for two weeks in January for abdominal surgery, and her slow recovery prompted international concern.
