Princess Catherine shocked the world earlier this year when she revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer, following months of speculation about her well-being.

Despite concerns for the Princess, royal enthusiasts remained hopeful that the beloved royal would soon return to the public eye.

The Palace’s announcement that she was expected to resume public duties shortly after Easter only bolstered this optimism.

With Easter having come and gone with no sign of Catherine’s return to public life, concern has grown among royal watchers.

This concern has been amplified by King Charles’ recent return to duty amidst his own ongoing cancer treatments, prompting worry about Catherine’s well-being.

One such figure who holds concerns for Princess Catherine is the BBC’s former royal correspondent Michael Cole, who recently questioned her whereabouts.

“I do worry about Catherine”, Cole told GBN America.

“She delivered her message brilliantly to us and she gave hope.

“She held out her hand to cancer sufferers everywhere.

“She said that she told her children, ‘mummy is going to be OK’.

“It was initially said she would go back to public life after Easter. It’s good news that the King’s treatment is being effective, but we have to wonder what is going on with Kate?

“Obviously, at the same time, we wish her the very best of good fortune and a speedy and complete recovery.”

Despite growing concerns, Prince William recently provided a reassuring update on Princess Catherine’s well-being as she continues her treatment for cancer.

The Prince’s update came during his visit to James’ Place in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where he learned about the vital support the charity offers to men in suicidal crisis in the region.

William toured the building and spent time meeting staff and service users who have been supported by the charity, before officially opening the site.

As Prince William left the centre, he met with well-wishers eager to inquire about Princess Catherine’s health.

Among them was Julie Cain, 60, who delicately broached the subject, asking, “Do you mind if I ask how your wife and children are?”

Responding with warmth and gratitude, Prince William replied, “All doing well, thank you. Yes, we’re doing well.”
