Kate Middleton's recent visit to a farm shop near Windsor alongside Prince William has ignited speculation about an upcoming major announcement, especially in light of her absence from the St Patrick’s Day parade.
Despite being the honorary colonel of the guard, the Duchess of Cambridge was conspicuously absent from the parade, where Lady Ghika, wife of Lieutenant Colonel Major General Sir Christopher Ghika, stood in on her behalf.
Questions have arisen about Kate's decision to forego the event, particularly given her subsequent public appearance, which suggests she was physically capable of attending. Nevertheless, the Irish Guards honored Princess Kate in her absence during the annual St Patrick's Day Parade.
Royal insiders and close friends of Kate Middleton have hinted at an imminent major announcement regarding her future plans.
On Commonwealth Day, Kate was photographed leaving Windsor Castle in a car with Prince William, reportedly en route to a "private appointment," while the Prince attended a service at Westminster Abbey.
During the parade, Kate delivered a touching speech to the guards, expressing her pride in serving as their Colonel and emphasizing her commitment to supporting and championing them in their endeavors.
In a recent interaction with The Sunday Times, a friend of Kate shared insights into the couple's openness during public engagements, suggesting that if the Duchess were to discuss her recovery, it would likely be in such a setting.
