Two months ago, Kate Middleton seemed to win respite from people widely speculating about her health by recording a video in which she forthrightly explained that she has cancer and is undergoing “preventative chemotherapy,” while assuring the public, “I am well and getting stronger every day.” But that respite is turning out to be brief, and the wild speculation is ramping up again, following different news reports about whether or not the Princess of Wales will attend an important upcoming event. Reports also have offered a range of target dates for how long Britain’s very popular royal will remain out of the public eye — from all of June, through autumn, to the end of the year.

There’s no word, for example, on whether Kate will attend the Wimbledon tennis championships, starting July 1. An avid tennis fan and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Kate usually attends the tournament’s major matches, always impeccably attired, and hands out trophies to winners. But her possible absence from Wimbledon 2024 has prompted some of the chatter about how she’s dong.

“I’ve said for a while that if Kate misses Wimbledon in July, then there is something very serious going on,” . While this person may be trying to suggest something grim about Kate’s condition, it could also be said that any kind of cancer is serious, and that Kate, her husband Prince William and the rest of her family are clearly taking her recovery very seriously. But within.
