A brand-new and startling report alleges that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is mulling over a complete withdrawal from her royal duties.
According to a palace insider who talked to the National Enquirer, Kate has yet to reach a final decision. However, she has been repeatedly postponing the date of her return to public life as the pressure from her royal existence has exacted a heavy toll on her.

“A desperate battle that Kate has been waging against the ceaseless pressures of life in the highly scrutinized royal environment has evidently had a dreadful impact on both her physical and mental well-being,” the senior palace source was reported to have said.
“She remained out of the public gaze for weeks after her operations – and this has only fortified her determination to step aside,” the source further added.
This purported situation has supposedly shaken up her marriage to Prince William and sent ripples through the monarchy.
As per the same source, William is “extremely distraught” about Kate’s potential departure.
“William is beside himself due to her decision,” the source stated, as reported by Radar Online. “He simply cannot fathom that his wife would even contemplate such a step.
“He made certain that she was aware of what she was getting into when she married him, and she had been performing admirably. He is fearful that she has become emotionally unsteady, but she contends that she now has a clear perspective!”
Another source remarked, “Kate is disenchanted and exasperated by the never-ending drama involving her wayward brother-in-law, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan,” Radar Online reported. “Ironically, they have made her realize that there is an option other than being confined within The Firm.”
The source added: “She knew that when she married William her life would be transformed forever, but it never crossed her wildest imagination that it would be this intense!
“Kate had a tough time when she first entered the family, but after a few years she thought she had weathered the worst.”
The palace’s unusually hushed stance regarding Kate’s health condition has given rise to speculations about the gravity of her situation.
All that is known so far is that she will not be resuming her royal duties until Easter and that her schedule has been entirely cleared.

Given that her recovery is stretching over months and her whereabouts are being kept under wraps, it is hardly surprising that many are doubting the seriousness of her medical procedure.
Recently, TMZ released the first photo of Kate after her surgery in January. She was spotted wearing glasses while inside a car with her mother. Some people hypothesized that the photo was staged, while others believed that if it were the case, she would have posed outside the car.
On Mother’s Day, Kate and William shared a photo of her with her children on their X account, but the photo was promptly removed by numerous news agencies amid suspicions that it had been “altered.”
The princess took to X to clarify that she had self-edited the image before uploading it online.
