Princess Kate has not returned to full-time work yet but has suggested that she may attend “a few public engagements” over the summer. There are several upcoming events that she could consider participating in, including Wimbledon and a state visit by the emperor and empress of Japan in the short term. Prince William is also planning to take his Earthshot Prize to Cape Town in November, and Kate will have to decide whether she can host her annual carol service, Together at Christmas, at Westminster Abbey at the end of the year.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward believes that one of Princess Kate’s top priorities for the rest of 2024 will be her work on early years care through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. Seward thinks that focusing on one aspect of her charitable work will be easier for Kate if she is feeling tired or unwell, rather than taking on multiple projects. Although Kate is passionate about tennis, attending the men’s or women’s singles final at Wimbledon might expose her too much in the royal box, according to Seward. However, there is a possibility that she may attend Wimbledon once, possibly for the singles final, during the summer.
In June, there is a state visit by the emperor and empress of Japan, but Seward believes it is unlikely that Kate will make an appearance. Hosting duties for the visit will most likely fall to other members of the royal family, such as Prince William, King Charles III, and Queen Camilla. In November, Prince William will be taking his Earthshot Prize Awards to Cape Town, South Africa. Seward thinks that Kate might accompany him on the trip, as it is not a difficult journey and the weather will be pleasant. Additionally, in December, Kate’s annual carol service, Together at Christmas, may have the full support of King Charles III, and Seward believes that Kate may be feeling better by then and decide to host the service at Westminster Abbey.
