A recent report from the National Enquirer suggests that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is contemplating stepping down from her royal duties due to the immense pressure she faces. A palace insider revealed that Kate’s prolonged absence from public life following her recent operations has only strengthened her resolve to quit. The toll of royal life on her physical and mental health has allegedly rocked her marriage to Prince William and the monarchy.

According to sources, William is deeply concerned about Kate’s potential departure, as he had made sure she understood the challenges of royal life before their marriage. However, Kate seems disillusioned and frustrated by the ongoing drama surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, feeling trapped in the royal firm.

While the palace has remained unusually quiet about Kate’s health condition, it’s known that she won’t be returning to her royal duties until Easter, with her schedule cleared indefinitely. The severity of her condition has sparked rumors, especially since the first photo of her after surgery raised questions about its authenticity.

On Mother’s Day, Kate and William shared a photo of her with their children on their social media account, but it was soon pulled by numerous news agencies amid suspicions of manipulation. Kate later explained that she had self-edited the image before posting it online.

As Kate’s recuperation continues for months, and her whereabouts remain secretive, speculation persists about the seriousness of her procedure and her future in the royal family.
