Kate Middleton Reportedly Done With 'Difficult Family Members' As She Embraces Secret Healing Regimen
Kate Middleton is reportedly doing all she can to come back to full health following her battle with cancer. Reports suggest the Princess of Wales has secretly picked up a healing regimen to help in her recovery journey and is prioritizing her mental and emotional health by avoiding "difficult family members." The future queen, Kate Middleton, is also said to be "excited" about some of her upcoming official schedule ahead of the royal family's summer retreats to Balmoral Castle, their Scottish estate. Kate has seemingly found a way to help fully restore her health following her battle with cancer. The Princess of Wales, who announced that she was in remission from the disease earlier this year after completing chemotherapy back in September last year, continues to keep busy with her royal duties while maintaining beloved hobbies as part of her recovery efforts. "Princess Catherine has been recuperating behind the scenes," royal expert Neil Sean told Fox News Digital. "This includes a return to ballet with her daughter Princess Charlotte, a massive return to daily nature walks, as well as [keeping up with] her photography hobby." "An excellent source told me she is living in the moment and has no time for drama… or difficult family members," Sean continued. "She attended Trooping of the Colour and the Order of the Garter but felt it was too much to attend Royal Ascot. She felt exhausted. This is normal… regarding her return after cancer." Sean went further to reveal that Kate has adopted playing the piano every day, describing it as "the best therapy known to her." Kate is in no rush to return to public-facing duties as she's still trying to find the right balance between her official responsibilities, family time, and her recovery journey. She canceled her appearance at the Royal Ascot last month, sparking fears that her recuperation could have been affected. However, a source told Sean that the mother of three has been immersing herself in her favorite hobbies and has the support of other senior royals. She's also "Behind the scenes, the Princess of Wales continues with various Zoom chats with her charities… and dealing with an incredible amount of correspondence from all over the world. But as she's pointed out, it's the simple things in life that have truly turned her life around," Sean stated. "A source tells me that one of her great comforts is having a very close friendship between herself and her daughter, Princess Charlotte," he continued. "Last year, they went on a private visit to the Sadler's Wells ballet, which has [sparked] Charlotte's interest in the world of dance, something that Catherine herself shared when she was younger," the royal expert shared. Despite still recovering from cancer, Kate gives her all when duty calls and is said to be a quiet force behind palace doors. According to Fox News, royal expert Hilary Fordwich said that she has received both respect and admiration from palace aides, especially for her work ethic. "Those who work with her, and for her, share that she's disciplined, pragmatic, and a quiet, influential figure," Fordwich explained. "She divides her time meticulously between parenting, supporting Prince William, and fulfilling her royal duties, all while maintaining a workout regimen supporting her physical and mental health." "Of particular note is her ability to balance tradition with a modern approach to family life, which is crucial for the monarchy's relevance in an ever-changing world," Fordwich said. "She's in lockstep with her generation." Kate's husband, Prince William, and her father-in-law, King Charles, have reportedly "put zero pressure on Catherine to return to full-time royal duties." "They're [encouraging] her to enjoy these wonderful moments with her young family while recuperating," Sean said. "The princess knows how fortunate she is. She is tending to a brand-new family vegetable garden patch with both Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte." Sean noted that her other passion "has been returning to her home cooking, particularly her chutney and her specialty honey from her beehive," adding that Kate told the source, "These are great therapeutic things to do." "You lose yourself in the art of cooking, and it's something you can share with the children, family, and friends while talking about all manner of things with zero pressure," Sean added. The Princess of Wales recently opened up about her struggles amid her recovery journey, sharing during a visit to Colchester Hospital on Wednesday, admitting that this chapter of her life has been "really, really difficult." "You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment," Kate explained, per Page Six. "Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually [that's not the case]." Although no longer under active medical supervision, the 43-year-old royal admitted that she can not "function normally at home as [she] perhaps once used to." Kate emphasized the importance of having support during this phase of recovery: "[Having] someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment … is really valuable." The princess further stressed that healing doesn't happen overnight, noting that finding a "new normal … takes time." "It's a roller coaster, it's not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is, you go through hard times," the princess added.

Kate will meet Macron with Wills & King next week – just days after opening up about her ‘rollercoaster' cancer recovery
KATE will join William and the King and Queen at Windsor for the French State Visit next week - just days after opening up about her "rollercoaster" cancer recovery. The Princess of Wales, 43, described the ongoing struggle of "cracking on" and putting on a "brave face" while speaking to cancer patients this week after she pulled out of Royal Ascot. 6 6 6 But she will return to ceremonial royal duties as French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte will receive the pomp and ceremony of a carriage ride and State Banquet at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, it has been confirmed. It is the first State Visit to be held at Windsor since 2014 when Irish President Michael D Higgins was given the honour. Buckingham Palace is out of action due to ongoing £369million renovation. Donald Trump 's expected State Visit in September is also expected to be at Windsor Castle. Palace officials have confirmed William and Kate will greet the Macrons at RAF Northolt on Tuesday morning on behalf of the King and travel with them to Windsor. Charles and Camilla will formally greet their guests on a Royal Dais constructed on Datchet Road in Windsor town centre, with the castle in the backdrop as gun salutes sound in nearby Home Park. The King, the Queen, the Waleses and Macrons will then take a carriage procession through the town and along part of the Long Walk into the Castle. A ceremonial welcome will be held in the castle's quadrangle with Camilla, William, Kate and Mrs Macron watching as the King and President Macron inspect the Guard of Honour. After lunch in the State Dining Room they will all view a special exhibition of items relating to France from the Royal Collection in the Green Drawing Room. The Macrons will also travel to London on Tuesday afternoon to see the Grave of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey. At the Houses of Parliament the French leader will address parliamentarians in the Royal Gallery, and meet opposition leaders at Lancaster House. The King and president will both deliver speeches at the banquet on Tuesday evening. Kensington Palace has yet to confirm whether or not the princess will attend the banquet in Windsor Castle's St George's Hall. In a personal touch, the King and Queen will, on Wednesday, take the Macrons to see Fabuleu de Maucour, a 10-year-old grey gelding which Mr Macron gifted to known horse-lover the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 in celebration of her Platinum Jubilee. Fabuleu de Maucour belonged to the largely ceremonial French Republican Guard and was trained to carry the standard-bearer. They will also view an elegant Charabanc carriage from the Royal Mews, which was a present to Queen Victoria from King Louis-Philippe of France in 1844. And the Macrons will privately pay their respects at the late Queen's tomb in St George's Chapel by laying flowers in tribute. Charles, Ranger of Windsor Great Park, will also invite the president to tour the Windsor Castle Gardens, including areas of nature restoration and biodiversity and the wider Great Park. Wednesday will see the president and Mrs Macron join Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Lady Starmer for lunch at Downing Street, ahead of a UK-France summit at Number 10 on Thursday. The King and Queen paid a state visit to France in September 2023 and enjoy a warm rapport with French leader and his wife, who will stay in the castle during their trip. It is largely seen as a template for Trump's visit in the autumn. The last state visit to the UK from France was in March 2008 when the now-disgraced president Nicolas Sarkozy, since convicted of corruption and influence peddling, and his wife Carla Bruni, were the guests of Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor. 6 6 6
