Kate Middleton health update: Princess of Wales’ cancer recovery is ‘going well’

Kate Middleton’s cancer recovery is “going well,” says an expert who asserts that Prince William’s recent public appearances are intended to signal that the royal family is returning to a state of normality.

The Princess of Wales, 42, stunned the world last month when she announced that she was undergoing “preventative chemotherapy” for an undisclosed form of cancer discovered during abdominal surgery.

Prince William, 41, subsequently took a step back from duties to support his sick wife, but returned to royal life with an appearance at a food distribution charity in Surrey, England on Thursday.

Last week, the future king was also seen watching a soccer game with his oldest son, Prince George, 10.

Both outings were deliberately designed to reassure the public that Princess Kate’s recovery is going as planned and that she is making steady progress, according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams.

“Royals realize that every single thing they do sends a message in one way or another.” he told The Sun on Saturday. “It sent this message that things some things are going on, more or less as normal.”

Princess Kate’s health battle comes as King Charles, 75, also battles an undisclosed form of cancer.

The monarch has also been forced to take a step back from public duties, plunging the royals into crisis.

In January, Charles released a statement saying he would be hospitalized for treatment for an enlarged prostate. He subsequently announced that doctors found cancer during that operation.

The shock health news came shortly after Princess Kate revealed that she would be out of the public eye until after Easter as she was undergoing a planned surgery.

As in the case of her father-in-law, doctors discovered cancer during the procedure, sidelining her from work for the foreseeable future.
