Last year, long before her surgery and subsequent cancer diagnosis sidelined her, Kate Middleton launched the Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood.

Since the news broke about Kate’s planned abdominal surgery and prolonged recovery, she has withdrawn from her public royal duties because of the doctor’s orders.

However, a new report for the Early Childhood Taskforce has given royal fans good news about Kate and teased a possible return to her public life.

The Early Childhood Taskforce, which seeks “to create a happier and more productive workforce today and transform the health and well-being of the UK economy and society for generations to come,” has released a 60-page report that Kate has read, according to the Sun.

The Sun reports that an aide confirms, “She has been kept up to date since the inception of the task force, and she has read the report and been briefed on it.”

This confirmation means that Kate is starting a slow return to her work, even if it is simply keeping up to date with her charities and giving input at her own pace.

Fans continue to ask about Kate’s whereabouts and how she’s doing

With the revelations that Kate is participating in work for her charities, even on a small scale, fans continue to ask about her on social media.

The Kensington Palace recently shared photos of Kate’s husband, Prince William, at a garden party. Prince William attended without Kate, and royal fans were concerned.

One fan said, “That’s great. Looks fun. Where’s Kate?”

Another fan said, “God bless you, Sir.”

Then, one fan shared what everyone must feel: “We miss Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Hope she can be back soon.”

The Sun also reports that Kate won’t return until her doctors give her the “green light.” It is just taking longer than Kensington Palace initially thought.

As Monsters and Critics reported, Kate was slated to return to work around Easter.

Prince William has been carrying on alone while Kate heals

Prince William often mentions Kate while he is out at events while she is home dealing with her illness.

During a recent visit to the Isles of Scilly, a healthcare worker asked about Kate, and Prince William quickly responded, “Kate is doing well,” according to Sky News.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ X account extensively covered the visit. This news indicates that Kate is on the mend and will be seen publicly soon.
