Embarks on Longest Trip Since Cancer Diagnosis
Princess Kate is preparing for a significant journey that highlights her comfort within the Royal Family, according to royal biographer Angela Levin. In an interview with Nana Akua on GB News, Levin noted that Kate's decision to travel to Balmoral this month is a noteworthy development.
The 42-year-old princess is set to head to the Scottish Highlands to join her husband, Prince William, and their three children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six—along with other family members for their annual summer retreat.
“She is going to Scotland to be with the family,” Levin explained. “This is a huge move. Not only because she is obviously not well yet, but it shows she feels very comfortable with the Royal Family.”
Levin added, “She is very happy with the King and the Queen, and she knows they will understand if she has to rest. She can say what she likes and be welcomed. I think it’s wonderful she can do that. The children will be delighted also.”
Kate’s public appearances have been limited this year following her cancer diagnosis in March. Her upcoming trip to Balmoral will be the furthest she has travelled since her diagnosis.
However, it is unlikely she will make any additional public appearances shortly. Although the Paris Olympics was considered a potential opportunity for her to appear publicly, it now seems increasingly unlikely as the games draw to a close.
The future Queen, who attended the London 2012 Olympics with William and has a keen interest in sports, is reportedly waiting for medical advice before committing to further public engagements.
A source told The Daily Beast regarding the Princess of Wales: “Kate has been exceptionally open and honest about her health. Making two appearances before the summer break, at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, was a clear signal that she is doing well. That is what we are hearing privately as well—it’s not over, but there is lots of optimism, lots of positivity.”
They continued, “It is obviously still an incredibly worrying time, but all the signs are that her cancer treatment, which is ongoing, is progressing well.”
