Since Kate Middleton confirmed that she had been diagnosed with cancer last year, Prince William hasn't left her side. He has valued her fight and resilience, celebrating every step she has taken to overcome her illness. A few months ago, Kate confirmed that she was fully recovered, but clarified that her reappearance would be gradual.

For this reason, the same circle keeps that "she'll take things much more calmly for the rest of the year," thus announcing a brief pause. "I'd be surprised if you see her more than three times in the next three months," they state.
