In a startling new article, RadarOnline disclosed that Kate Middleton could be considering giving up her royal duties completely.

An insider at the Palace is rumored to have told The National Enquirer that although the Princess of Wales hasn’t made up her mind yet, being a princess has taken a big toll on her.

Kate keeps putting off her return to royal life as a result. Back in January, she underwent a “planned abdominal procedure,” which made her withdraw from the spotlight.

There has been significant speculation that Kate’s health may be bad because she has been recovering from surgery for a long time—the Palace said early on that she wouldn’t be returning until Easter.

The same insider continued by saying that William is “beside himself” at the possibility that Kate may want to leave.

The insider stated, “William is beside himself over her decision.” He’s shocked that his spouse would ever think to take such a step.

“She’s done an amazing job, and he made sure she knew what she was getting into when she married him.” She claims she’s now seeing clearly, but he worries that she’s becoming emotionally unstable.
