Kate Middleton is retreating from the public eye again after rare Wimbledon outing

After making her triumphant return to the public eye following her cancer diagnosis, Kate Middleton is yet again set to retreat from royal duties, according to reports.

Kate Middleton is going back into her shell.

A source told Page Six that she will not be at any more public events for the rest of the UK summer after her appearance at Wimbledon last weekend.

Wimbledon, which was her second public appearance in 2024, will be her last engagement of the season, according to the insider.

Robert Jobson, author of the forthcoming book Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen, told People on Thursday that the future queen “used to live her life by the calendar” but “now she is living her life, and the calendar comes in after.”

“She will be back, but when you have had an experience like this, it changes your perspective and the order of things,” he added.

After Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis in March, she shied away from the public eye to focus on her treatment and recovery.

However, on June 14, the 42-year-old wrote in a letter that she was “making good progress” but had “good days and bad days” while going through chemotherapy.

The following day, she attended the Trooping the Colour parade alongside her husband, Prince William, and their three children: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

Middleton was also all smiles on July 14 at the men’s tennis championships with her daughter on Sunday.

She appeared in high spirits for the outing as she waved at the crowd ahead of the gentlemen’s singles final and stood in the crowd and cheered.

The mother-of-three stunned in a lilac Safiyaa London Cecilia dress, while Charlotte rocked a navy blue-and-white polka-dot dress and white ballet flats.

The Princess has been having treatment for cancer, which she announced in a video in March.

Middleton chose to wear the purple-coloured gown to honour the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), for which she is a royal patron.

The AELTC’s hues are “Wimbledon purple” and a shade of dark green called “Wimbledon green.”

The princess’s special bow tie was also in the club’s colours.
