Kensington Palace sent shockwaves through the royal community in mid-January with the unexpected announcement that the Princess of Wales, formerly known as Kate Middleton, was scheduled for abdominal surgery, necessitating a prolonged period of recovery.
As a result, all of her official engagements and commitments have been put on hold until at least March, leaving many wondering about her future plans.
There is no definitive timeline yet for Kate’s return to her royal duties, but speculation is rife that she may resume her public responsibilities sometime in April or May.
Coincidentally, this anticipated comeback aligns with a busy period expected for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are reportedly gearing up for a grand reentry onto the royal stage.
According to insights from a royal biography penned by author Angela Levin, detailing her experiences with Prince Harry in 2018, the Sussexes are said to be preparing for their much-anticipated comeback.
Despite not having been seen in the UK since 2022, rumors suggest that they are making arrangements to visit London in May, particularly to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Speculation is rife that the couple’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will accompany them on this significant trip.
Levin’s account hints at concerns that the Sussexes’ recent behavior, characterized by constant complaints, may be alienating supporters.
Their upcoming visit is perceived as an opportunity to present a more engaging and affectionate persona, albeit potentially staged for yet another documentary.
As Meghan and Harry plan their return to the UK, the timing coincides with Kate’s expected resumption of royal duties.
Levin suggested that the Sussexes’ visit could overshadow the narrative surrounding Princess Catherine’s recovery and gradual return to public life.
