Kate Middleton has reportedly prioritized her health and wellbeing ahead of royal life as she “quietly” steps away from public duties.
Following the Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis and recovery, Kate expressed her desire to friends to “slow down” and take progressive steps to “simplify her life.”
A senior royal official said radaronline.com“Kate now understands that life is too short to continue to accept all the demands. Her battle with cancer has truly changed her perspective. She wants to prioritize her family, her well-being and her peace of mind.
This isn’t about rebellion for the sake of drama – it’s about setting your own pace, even if that means quietly resisting royal expectations. »
Following her cancer treatment, Kate gradually resumed public appearances with Trooping the Color and the Garter Day, but her absence from Ascot attracted stress from royal aides.
Another source noted, “She stopped trying to please everyone,” and now, “her outlook is different, she’s finally paying attention to what her body and mind need.”
Additionally, Kate wants to create a “healthier balance” in life by being a present mom to her children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, whom she shared with Prince William.
A second source added: “She has finally learned the power of saying no. Before her illness, she felt a huge responsibility to take on the demands of royal life with William. Now she understands that she can serve without losing herself in the process.”
