According to a source, Kate Middleton will not be coming back to the public eye or her official duties until her doctors clear her for it, and there has been no word on when that could be.
“Princess Kate is still focusing on her recovery but she has been spotted running errands with her family,” the source shared. “Her priority remains on her young children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. She is being fully supported by Prince William, who has been devoted to her recuperation. Her mother and siblings have also been dedicated to her recovery and other members of the family have stepped in to support her young family.”
Though she is being kept updated with her patronages, she is not up to resuming her duties yet.
“While Kate was ‘kept up to date’ on the release of the Royal Foundation Business Task Force for Early Childhood report, which was released last week, there is no indication she is returning to work imminently,” the source said. “She will only return to work when her medical team gives the go ahead.”
