Following a week filled with royal engagements, fans of the British Royal Family have taken to social media expressing concerns about Princess Catherine’s workload.

However, despite the packed schedule, Catherine appeared unfazed and even more relaxed than usual.

This week, the delightful news of her first official royal tour was announced, where she will accompany Prince William on behalf of the government to Italy.

It will be Catherine’s first working trip abroad in over a year and the couple’s first visit to this country.

The upcoming high-profile visit to Rome in the spring is part of a European charm offensive, and there is a possibility that they may meet Pope Francis in the Vatican.

Talks are currently underway at the highest level, and a date has been tentatively scheduled.

It’s important to note that their previous trip to Boston in the US was for Prince William’s personal initiative, the Earthshot Prize.

Negotiations regarding a meeting with Pope Francis are still ongoing, and no final decision has been made.

Given that Italy is one of the fashion capitals of the world, it is likely that the stylish Princess of Wales would be warmly welcomed.

Additionally, Catherine may have some knowledge of the Italian language, as she spent time in Florence during her gap year.

Turning 42 next week, Catherine will also use this opportunity to further showcase her and William’s work as a powerful royal couple.

In 2024, she will have numerous chances to shine, as this year is pushing her to new heights of visibility and achievement.

In 2023, the princess traveled extensively across the country fulfilling her duties as the Princess of Wales, with each journey and engagement potentially leaving her exhausted.

Royal fans have expressed their worries about her demanding work schedule, leaving comments on the official Instagram account for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

One fan wrote, “Good lord, you two are so busy.

You were just in Edinburgh and suddenly you’re back here the next day.

How do you find the energy and time to fit it all in?”

Another fan added, “I’m exhausted just looking at how much these two do.”

According to an insider, Catherine’s busier schedule is intentional as she believes it is crucial for the monarchy that she is seen frequently in public.

With more opportunities for the British people to come out and see her, she can connect with an audience that eagerly awaits the chance to meet her.

The insider also revealed that King Charles III is delighted to see his beloved daughter-in-law taking on additional events and duties.

However, fans concerned about the couple’s workload can rest assured that they will soon be taking some much-needed time off.

They plan to spend the holiday season with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, away from their royal duties.

Since moving to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor and enrolling their children at the nearby Lambrook School, Catherine and William’s schedules have become busier.

Although their Windsor home is not large enough for their nanny, Maria Borrallo, to live with them, she remains an integral part of their lives, as she was recently spotted inside Buckingham Palace when the family made a balcony appearance for Trooping the Colour.

In previous years, the couple used the school holidays, starting in July, to travel to destinations like Mystique and the Isles of Scilly.

They have also visited the Balmoral Estate, where the late Queen Elizabeth II would host various members of her family.

As the year comes to a close, Catherine and William look forward to spending quality time with their children, rejuvenating themselves before they resume their royal duties.
