Despite having a difficult year, PRINCESS Kate is focused on 2025 and her upcoming position as Queen.
According to a royal author, the 42-year-old Princess of Wales, who sang “Together” at a Christmas carol event to end the year, is getting ready for her royal position “sooner than expected.”
King Charles is currently receiving treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer.
In March, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was undergoing chemotherapy, and by September, she shared that she had completed her treatment and was now “cancer-free.”
Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People: “Although the King is carrying out his duties with typical determination, he has had to accept limitations during his cancer treatment.”
“As a result William has been taking on more responsibilities, and he and Kate have been preparing for their future roles sooner than they would have expected.”
An insider commented: “There’s a sense of calm before the storm. They are next in line for the biggest job of their lives, and of course, Kate’s health has taken priority, but it’s also allowed everyone to take a step back and figure out what’s important right now.”
On December 6, Kate hosted her first major event since completing her treatment – the annual carol concert, joined by Prince William, 42, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis.
Jenny Powell, a community worker from Abergavenny, Wales, who attended the event, remarked: “I know how hard it would be to do something like this, putting yourself out there when you may not be feeling 100 per cent.”
During the concert, Kate appeared calm as she walked down the aisle with her family in front of 1,600 guests.
Paloma Faith, who performed at the concert, asked Kate how she was doing. Kate responded: “I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I’ve just had.”
