Prince William ‘putting his foot down’ as Kate Middleton makes big decision amid…
Prince William is urging Kate Middleton to “put herself first” as she returns to work following her cancer treatment, according to a source.
The Princess of Wales has slowly been resuming her royal duties after completing her cancer treatment in September. She recently made an appearance at Remembrance Sunday events and will be hosting her annual carol service this Christmas.
While fans have been delighted with Kate’s return, a source has claimed her husband is worried. “For obvious reasons, he wants this to be put in perspective alongside her own recovery,” they said. “He’s putting his foot down and urging Kate to draft a schedule that puts herself first, no excuses.”
The source continued, “Next year is going to be a very big year, and ideally William would love it if Kate’s able to carry out her engagements as close to normal as possible. But he’s also crystal clear that her health comes first, and he’s let everyone around them know that he doesn’t want her to dive back in too quickly.
Speaking to Heat World, the source explained how William is worried Kate will “overdo it and put her health at risk,” pointing out how she is “still fragile.” They said his current priority is his wife’s long-term wellbeing.
The source then claimed William has given strict instructions to the royal family’s aides not to overload Kate. They added, “He’s urging Kate to stay focused on her steady recovery rather than putting too much on her plate. He just wants to be sure she feels supported without unnecessary pressure.”
The comments come after William admitted it has been a “brutal” year for his family. The Prince of Wales made the comments during a visit to Cape Town earlier this month.
He said his wife has been “doing really well” after completing her chemotherapy treatment and said she has been “amazing” throughout her health struggles. Speaking ahead of the Earthshot Prize 2024, William said: “She’s doing really well thanks. And hopefully she is watching tonight. Cheering me on. She’s been amazing this whole this whole year. I know she will be really keen to see tonight be a success.
William also revealed that this year had “been dreadful” and “probably been the hardest year in his life.” Kate first announced her cancer diagnosis in March, before releasing an emotional video on Sept. 9 to announce she had finished her treatment.
However, she said she still has a long road ahead and will need to take “each day as it comes.” The Princess of Wales added: “This time has, above all, reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.
