As the royal family continues adjusting to life after Queen Elizabeth's passing, all eyes remain on Kate Middleton's health status following her cancer diagnosis earlier this year. A royal commentator recently weighed in with an update on the possibility of the Princess of Wales resuming public engagements going forward.

Cameron Walker, a royal correspondent for GB News, said that while the palace has ruled out Kate attending the Royal Ascot and G-Day Australia events this summer, they have not confirmed her absence from any other engagements. Walker noted her appearance at Trooping the Colour in June, her first since beginning chemotherapy treatment, as indicating she may make some additional public appearances before the summer is over.

However, Walker emphasized that the pace of Kate's possible return to duties will depend greatly on how her ongoing chemotherapy is progressing and whether she is experiencing good or bad days. In her statement ahead of Trooping the Colour, Kate admitted she is still undergoing preventative chemotherapy and is not fully in the clear yet with her treatment. Walker said the palace is wisely taking things step-by-step and day-by-day with regards to the Princess's health.

A previous source disclosed to US Weekly that Kate may never fully return to the high-profile royal role she held prior to her diagnosis. She used to be front and center on engagements alongside Prince William, but is now re-evaluating what level of duties she can reasonably take on going forward given her medical situation. This lines up with Walker's assessment that any additional appearances this summer would depend greatly on her health status at the time.

On a positive note, King Charles' cancer diagnosis and Kate's ongoing treatment are said to have brought Charles and William closer together over the last six months according to a friend of the royal family. With both dealing with health woes, they have formed a bond of understanding and increased tolerance of each other. While carrying out his royal duties, Charles feels lucky to have William as someone he can discuss the job with openly.

In contrast, the once close relationship between William and Prince Harry appears increasingly strained, with sources insisting the trust between them is now gone for good even if a superficial managed reconciliation could be attempted. William posting a throwback Father's Day photo with only his dad and excluding Harry was cited by a royal expert as another sign their feud remains as bad as ever with little improvement.

Overall, Kate's return to the spotlight remains uncertain as she prioritizes her health. The royal family is rightly supporting her gradual, needs-based comeback without pressure or definitive timelines. While her presence will be missed, well-wishes for her full recovery must come before duties resumption. With strengthened father-son bonds and ongoing sibling disputes in play, adjustments continue as new family dynamics emerge within the House of Windsor.
