Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly kick-started preparations for the biggest roles of their lives: becoming king and queen.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have faced a difficult year after Middleton, 42, was diagnosed with cancer following a planned abdominal surgery in January.
The princess subsequently spent much of the year behind closed doors as she underwent treatment, prompting William to reduce his workload
After the mom of three announced that she’s cancer free, the duo have made a gradual return to public-facing duties.
“Although the King is carrying out his duties with typical determination, he has had to accept limitations during his cancer treatment,” Bedell Smith told People.
“As a result William has been taking on more responsibilities, and he and Kate have been preparing for their future roles sooner than they would have expected.”
The royal family has faced a difficult year after the Princess of Wales and King Charles were diagnosed with cancer.
The Post has reached out to both Kensington and Buckingham Palace for comments.
Charles, for his part, was also forced to slam the brakes on his jam-packed schedule after his cancer diagnosis.
This, in turn, has allowed his eldest son to represent the Firm at various events, including his most recent appearance at the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which William attended sans Charles.
