Mysteriously absent again: Is Princess Catherine okay? Here's what we know!
- Replies 23
The royal family is often in the public eye, and their engagements and appearances are meticulously planned and followed by people worldwide.
However, when a member of the royal family is absent from a significant event, it raises questions and concerns.
This is the case with a princess, who was noticeably missing from the Diplomatic Corps reception at Buckingham Palace, which marks one of the most significant state occasions of the year.
Princess Catherine, at 42, has had a challenging year health-wise.
After revealing her cancer diagnosis in March, she has been largely absent from the public eye.
The undisclosed type of cancer was discovered following major abdominal surgery that the Princess of Wales underwent in January.
Since then, she has been navigating the difficult journey of chemotherapy, which, as many can attest, comes with its ups and downs.
'I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,' Princess Catherine shared in a statement.
On the bad days, the effects of chemotherapy can be debilitating, causing fatigue and necessitating rest.
On the good days, however, she wanted to make the most of her well-being.
In September, the Princess made a heartwarming return to her royal duties, sharing in a social media video that she had completed preventative chemotherapy.
Her gradual return was a beacon of hope for many who admire her resilience and dedication to her royal responsibilities.
Despite this, Princess Catherine chose not to attend the Diplomatic Corps reception hosted by King Charles.
The dress code is traditionally white tie or court dress, with tiaras for the royal women—a spectacle of grandeur and tradition.
While the Princess of Wales was absent, other royal family members, including Queen Camilla and Prince William, were present.
At the dinner, the Queen made a grand return to royal duties after recovering from a mild chest infection that had caused her to take a week's leave of absence.
‘Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest,’ the palace said in a statement.
‘With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend’s Remembrance events as normal.’
‘She apologises to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.’
