After a tumultuous 2024 that saw both The King and Princess Kate diagnosed with cancer, the Royal Family—and fans everywhere—are certainly wishing for a quieter 2025. And although many are hoping to see the Princess of Wales return to normality, royal biographer Robert Hardman tells Marie Claire there's one part of royal life that will get back on track first.
"I would say 2025, I'm sure everyone just hopes that it will be a year of resetting, or it'll be the year of reset. It'll be the year of going back to the way we were at the end of 2023 of regular, or semiregular duties," he says. The Princess of Wales put a priority on her recovery and family in 2024, and Hardman says fans shouldn't expect to see a huge jump in appearances this year.
