The Princess was last seen at Wimbledon last weekend

Kate Middleton will reportedly be retreating indefinitely from the spotlight again as she continues her cancer treatment, a Palace insider has claimed.

The Princess of Wales briefly stepped back into public life last weekend to attend the Wimbledon men’s final – alongside her daughter, Princess Charlotte, nine – where she presented the Singles Trophy To Carlos Alcaraz.

The 42-year-old made her first welcome return to public duty in June for Trooping the Colour. As part of the event, she took to the iconic Buckingham Palace balcony with her husband, Prince William, their three children, King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Following the appearance, Kate took to social media to admit that, while she is “making good progress,” she is “not out of the woods yet.”

In addition, Robert Jobson, the author of the upcoming Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen, spoke to People about why Kate will be stepping back from duties until further notice. Plus, that her recent outings “showed a lot of courage and character, as she knew that the world was watching.”

He said: “Before, she used to live her life by the calendar, and now she is living her life, and the calendar comes in after. She will be back, but when you have had an experience like this, it changes your perspective and the order of things.”

A Palace insider also reported to Vanity Fair that Kate and her family are now likely to spend the majority of the summer “below the radar” at their country home of Anmer Hall in Norfolk. They added that the Wales’ will not be travelling abroad due to Kate’s continuing cancer treatment, but, they are expected to visit King Charles and Queen Camilla in Scotland next month.

Another insider echoed this, telling People: “She won’t have to be on centre stage. Being with her family and just being herself will give her energy. There will be plenty of time to focus on her recovery.”
