People are on pins and needles awaiting Kate Middleton’s return, but is the timing of her comeback still a mystery, or do we know when the royal will potentially return to the limelight? After Kate revealed her health diagnosis, Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker spilled the tea on the Princess of Wales’ comeback. He explained in early April 2024, “What I am hearing from those close to the Princess is that she may well decide to attend certain events if she feels up to it, and if she’s keen to go.” Walker shared that he doesn’t expect Kate to fully return to royal duties until summer. Despite Walker’s comments, the public has yet to see Kate since Christmas Day in 2023. But, people might not have to wait much longer for the royal to make a public appearance.
According to a report from the Mirror, Kensington Palace has sought the advice of PR experts on how to handle the Princess of Wales’ upcoming schedule. A source told the outlet, “The teams are working round the clock to devise the Princess of Wales’s back-to-work plan after weeks of immense pressure. They all know that the world will be watching after weeks of heightened speculation and often outlandish commentary on social media.” As for when Kate will return, several reports have said the royal may start making public appearances after April 17, when her kids return to school after holiday.
