Kate Middleton made her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis by joining the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony to mark King Charles’s official birthday. 

The 42-year-old is now considering her next public appearance, acknowledging she has “good days” and “bad days” as her cancer treatment continues.

Royal commentator Emily Andrews believes Kate might attend Wimbledon next month. Writing in Grazia Magazine, Andrews stated, “Her treatment is ongoing, and will be for the next few months, but I understand she would like to visit the Wimbledon tennis tournament - she is a patron - if she feels up to it.”

Kate Middleton is also keen to support her children at their end-of-year events. A source told Grazia that family time is Kate’s “absolute priority” with her children being a “main driver in staying strong and keeping going.” They added, “The three kiddies and William have been her sole focus and are her absolute world.”

Once Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, finish school for the summer, the family plans to head to Anmer Hall in Norfolk. The family has previously shared their fondness for Norfolk, with a Father’s Day picture showing Prince William with the children at one of the county’s beaches.

While Kate Middleton is making strides back into public life, her team is not planning any events until autumn. Andrews noted that her return to duties is likely to be “phased and gradual,” with a full return expected next year. The future Queen's attendance at Trooping the Colour and other summer events should not be seen as a complete return to royal duties.
