RadarOnline has revealed in a shocking new piece that Kate Middleton may be contemplating stepping away from her royal duties entirely.
According to the National Enquirer, a Palace insider indicates that the Princess of Wales has not made a definitive decision yet, but the pressures of her royal role have taken a considerable toll on her.
As a result, Kate continues to delay her return to public engagements. Following a “planned abdominal procedure” in January, she has remained out of the public eye.
Kate’s prolonged recovery has led to speculation about the seriousness of her health condition, especially since the Palace initially stated she wouldn’t return until Easter. The Royal Family’s typical lack of detailed updates has fueled rumors, which the Palace has struggled to manage.
This weekend, several media outlets pulled the first official portrait of Kate Middleton, intended to celebrate Mother’s Day in the UK, due to claims that the image had been “manipulated.” This only added to the confusion.
Although Kate later admitted to editing the photo herself, unanswered questions about her health and whereabouts over the past two months have left many doubting the Palace’s reassurances.
The RadarOnline article suggests that Kate is now considering permanently stepping down from her royal responsibilities, a decision that has reportedly strained her marriage to Prince William.
A top palace source told the National Enquirer, “Kate’s desperate struggle with the constant pressures of life in the royal fishbowl has clearly taken a terrible toll on her physical and mental health.”
The source added, “She spent weeks avoiding the spotlight following her surgeries, and it’s only strengthened her resolve to quit.”
William is reportedly distressed about the possibility of Kate stepping down. The insider stated, “William is beside himself over her decision.” He’s shocked that she would even consider such a step. “She’s done an amazing job, and he made sure she knew what she was getting into when she married him. She claims she’s finally seeing clearly, but he worries that she’s becoming emotionally unstable.”
Whoa! Are you ready to accept that Kate Middleton might decide to leave her position as a royal?
