Recent reports suggest that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, might be considering stepping back from her royal duties. A Palace source claims the relentless pressure of royal life has affected her physical and mental health.

Although Kate hasn’t made a final decision, she continues to delay her return to royal duties after an abdominal procedure in January. The extended recovery period has sparked speculation about the severity of her condition, with the Royal Family’s lack of detailed updates only fueling further conjecture.

Concerns escalated when a Mother’s Day photo of Kate, released by the Palace, was withdrawn amid claims of manipulation. Despite Kate admitting she edited the photo herself, questions about her health and whereabouts have persisted for months.

RadarOnline reports that Kate is now seriously considering stepping away from her royal responsibilities, a decision straining her marriage to Prince William. A senior palace source noted that the pressures of royal life have taken a significant toll on Kate. Her prolonged absence post-surgery has made her reconsider her role. This possibility has left Prince William deeply troubled, as he acknowledges the remarkable job Kate has done and worries about her emotional well-being. However, Kate maintains that she is finally seeing things clearly.
