Cres emphasized the importance of addressing Kate's psychological well-being as she transitions back to work, particularly after undergoing surgery. Returning to duties after recovery, Cres explained, requires a careful balance between mental and physical health. Kate is likely to prioritize engagements that align with her current energy levels and overall health. It's crucial for her to maintain a sense of independence and control over her schedule as she gradually resumes her royal duties.
Cres suggested that engagements offering flexibility in timing and intensity, as well as those related to mental health awareness or charitable projects aligned with Kate's interests, could serve as sources of fulfillment and motivation during this period. Additionally, activities involving interaction with others may play a significant role in her healing process, providing validation, support, and connection.
Prince William, understood to be caring for Kate at Adelaide Cottage, remains supportive as she manages her royal responsibilities. Despite her temporary absence, Kate continues to oversee royal affairs, recently appointing Lieutenant Colonel Tom Wyatt as her private secretary.
As Kate navigates her recovery and eventual return to royal duties, finding a balance between protecting her physical and emotional well-being while fulfilling her royal obligations will be paramount.
