The Princess of Wales is currently taking time away from royal duties as she receives cancer treatment. In March, Kate announced that during abdominal surgery at the start of the year, doctors found that cancer had been present and she was advised to undergo preventative chemotherapy. The video announcement came after weeks of speculation about the Princess and her health, and she asked for privacy for herself and her family as she recovers.
Almost three months after the news was shared with the public, Kate's return to work has been thrown into question as one insider claimed that she 'may never' go back to her royal role - sparking health concerns once again, and fuelling the same 'wild conspiracy theories' that circulated on social media earlier this year. Last weekend, Kate did not attend the Colonel's Review - a rehearsal for the annual Trooping the Colour event - and wrote a letter to the Irish Guards as their Colonel apologising for her absence. She explained: "Being your Colonel remains an honour and I'm very sorry that I'm unable to make the salute at this year's Colonel's Review... I do hope that I'm able to represent you all once again very soon."
