After it was announced that Kate Middleton had undergone planned abdominal surgery in January 2024, the palace informed the public that she would return to royal duties by Easter Sunday.
It is a Royal Family tradition to come together on the holy day to attend service. However, after months out of the public eye with little information shared, Princess Catherine informed the world she has cancer.
