In a royal twist on the age-old saying, the show must go on, Princess of Wales, Catherine, is not letting major surgery slow her down.
Reports from the palace reveal that the 42-year-old royal is planning to work from her bed as she recovers from an abdominal operation at the London Clinic.
The news comes with a reassuring note that the princess is doing well and is expected to spend a week more in the hospital before moving to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to regain her strength.
Palace insiders share that Catherine’s unwavering commitment to the nation is what’s propelling her to continue her royal duties, even as she heals.
Despite her eagerness to return to work as soon as possible, Catherine, alongside her husband Prince William, is putting family first, day job second.
The royal couple is determined to maintain a sense of normality for their three children, Princess George and Louis, and Princess Charlotte.
A royal source emphasizes that the kids are always at the center of their universe, and the couple wants to ensure as much normality as possible moving forward.
While the princess has cleared her schedule for the next few months, there’s no stopping her dedication to her royal initiatives.
Her recent campaign, Shaping Us, focused on the critical first five years of a child’s life, will likely see a continued presence, even if not in official engagements.
Despite the cancellation, rescheduling, or postponement of engagements with her 30 charities and patronages, Catherine’s passion for the early years is expected to shine through.
Prince William, standing by his wife’s side, has postponed all his engagements until Catherine is back on her feet.
The prince has made it clear that, during this time, 100% family first, day job second, is the motto for the Wales family.
A peek into the future reveals William taking on the role of both dropping off and picking up his three children from school.
The couple’s dedication to family extends to the involvement of Catherine’s parents, Carolee and Michael Middleton, and siblings Pippa Matthews and James Middleton, who are expected to lend a helping hand as the princess continues her recovery.
With Princess Catherine’s resilience and the unwavering support of her family, the show of royal duties goes on, even if it means conducting them from the comfort of bed.
Embodying the spirit of grace under pressure, the princess assures the nation that her commitment to the crown remains steadfast, and she’ll be back to full royal vigor after a brief royal timeout.
