Despite the efforts of King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William to fill the void left by Middleton's absence, her vital role in the monarchy remains deeply felt.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, royal expert Katie Nicholl highlighted the toll that Middleton's treatment has taken on her. "She's going through very grueling treatment that has really taken its toll on her," Nicholl explained. While there are signs of improvement, Middleton remains vulnerable to infection during her preventative chemotherapy.
Nicholl emphasized Middleton's cautious approach to her recovery, stating, "She's going to be very careful about who she comes into contact with. She's not going to want to put herself at any risk."
As Middleton focuses on her health, she is keeping a low profile and limiting her interactions to close family members. Nicholl stressed the importance of this approach for Middleton's full recovery.
Despite her absence, Middleton recently expressed her regret to the Irish Guards for missing the Colonel’s Review and King Charles’ official birthday parade next week, highlighting her ongoing commitment to her duties despite her health challenges.
