Her involvement in the Scouts has been a significant part of her royal duties, aligning with her passion for youth development and community service. In her recent message, Middleton reaffirmed her commitment to the organization and highlighted her excitement to support Fields as he steps into his leadership role.

Ongoing Health Battle and Limited Public Appearances

Since revealing her cancer diagnosis in March 2024, Kate Middleton has largely stepped back from her public duties. She has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy as part of her treatment plan, and it remains uncertain when she will resume her full range of royal responsibilities. Despite this, Middleton has made select appearances, demonstrating her resilience and commitment to her role.

Among her few public appearances since her diagnosis were her attendance at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour. Additionally, Middleton recently appeared alongside Prince William in a video message congratulating Team Great Britain on their achievements in the 2024 Summer Olympics held in Paris.

Middleton’s ongoing health challenges have not diminished her engagement with causes she cares about deeply. Her recent social media activity shows her determination to stay connected with her royal duties and the public, even as she navigates her health journey.
