Only days after declaring the finish of her chemotherapy treatment, Kate Middleton dove once more into royal obligations, which included her first official meeting of the year last Tuesday. Castle insiders are reportedly concerned.

While the Princess of Wales shared that she was eager to join in a couple of additional public commitments in the next few months in her video declaration, a few royal specialists expressed concerns that Kate feels hurried to get back to business as usual. They encouraged her to find a steady pace as she reintegrates into royal life.

Dicky Arbiter, who served as the late sovereign’s press representative from 1998 until 2000, told *Express UK* that Kate Middleton’s September 17th meeting at Windsor Palace regarding the early years’ youth development drive she has supported for quite some time was a good sign but might actually fuel unrealistic assumptions about the royal family’s impending workload.

“It will be a slow transition back to the job, and we mustn’t expect anything monumental short-term,” he said, noting that the meeting was a good indicator that Kate feels well enough to engage with others beyond her loved ones.

The former communications secretary expressed concern that her sporadic public appearances this year, including her most recent outing with the rest of the royal family at Crathie Kirk Church near Balmoral Castle in Scotland, may pressure her to take on more than she can currently handle.

“We ought not to be pushing her, and she certainly ought not to be driving herself to make people happy,” he continued. “She will do it bit by bit and in her time.”

Arbiter emphasized that while Kate’s chemotherapy may be finished, her recovery is still ongoing, and she will likely consult with her medical team when deciding which future commitments to attend. “She’s not out of the woods yet, and we should allow her to take on a steady pace,” he said, adding, “It’s not just about her; it’s not just about the government and the United Kingdom; it’s about her family too.”

Royal reporter Richard Fitzwilliams also commented on the matter, calling a slow approach to returning to her official duties crucial for the future of the monarchy. “While dealing with this serious illness, she should do what she needs to do to remain cancer-free as the top priority,” he told the publication.

Kate appeared to echo these sentiments in her declaration video, letting viewers know that her return to life as a working royal would be a gradual process. “Although I have completed chemotherapy, my journey to healing and full recovery is long, and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” she said at that time.
