Kate Middleton Is ‘Potentially’ Going to Attend Remembrance Day Event in November: Latest update

Kate Middleton is reportedly looking ahead to a possible public appearance amid her ongoing cancer treatment.

The Princess of Wales, 42, hopes to “potentially” join her husband Prince William, and father-in-law King Charles, 75, along with the rest of the royal family as they pay tribute to fallen service members on Remembrance Sunday in November, according to a Sept. 8 report in The Sunday Times.

The November 10 ceremony, where royals, politicians, and military leaders gather at the Cenotaph memorial in Whitehall, London, is a major event in the royal calendar. If she attends, it would mark a significant public appearance for Kate. As of now, there is no confirmed date for her return to royal duties, and no official engagements are scheduled. Kate will also not be accompanying William to Cape Town for the Earthshot Prize awards in early November.

When approached by us, Kensington Palace declined to comment on the report, which also noted that palace aides have already started planning for Kate’s annual holiday carol concert in December, which the royal has hosted and attended with her family for the past three years.

Amid her cancer treatment this summer, Kate has continued working from home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. She’s been holding regular meetings with her private secretary, Tom White, assistant private secretary, Natalie Burrows, and the Waleses’ communications secretary, Lee Thompson, to plan for the future and stay updated on the latest research for her royal initiatives.

Her public appearances will depend on how she’s feeling at the time. In June, Kate acknowledged that while she has “good days,” the challenges of chemotherapy bring inevitable tough ones. However, as she shared in her March video address revealing her cancer diagnosis, work continues to bring her “a deep sense of joy.”

On Friday, Sept. 6, Kate hinted at her eagerness to return to work when the time is right, as Buckingham Palace shared a message from her congratulating adventurer and TV presenter Dwayne Fields on his new role as Chief Scout of Scouts UK. (The Princess is joint president of the organization alongside Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent.)

“Looking forward to working with you!” Kate wrote, signing off with her initial “‘C.’

Since revealing her cancer diagnosis in March, Kate has made few public appearances. After her video message on March 22, she shared a heartfelt statement in June, accompanied by a portrait taken under a tree at Windsor. She also joined her family at the annual Trooping the Colour parade honoring the King.

In July, feeling well enough, Kate attended one of her favorite events—the Wimbledon tennis championships—accompanied by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa Middleton.

The following month, she and William interrupted their summer vacation to record a joint video praising the athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

No date has been given for Kate’s return to public duty and those close to the palace are cautious about any additional demands being placed on her. “It’s nice to not feel pressured and just take time with her and take her days slow if she needs to,” a source told us over the summer.

It’s been just over six months since Kate began chemotherapy in late February, following abdominal surgery in January. In her June update, she shared that her treatment still had “a few more months” left to go.

Like William, the princess has cherished family time over the summer with their three children—Prince George, 11, Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. The family primarily enjoyed their time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, before the children returned to Lambrook School near Ascot on September 4. They also visited Balmoral Castle in Scotland to spend time with King Charles and other family members, and were photographed driving to church on August 25.

For William, “family comes first,” as a close friend tells PEOPLE. Like Kate, he has been prioritizing trying to keep things as normal as possible for their children amid his wife’s illness.

The new report in The Sunday Times comes as William returned to royal duty after a summer break on Sept. 5 in London.

On Tuesday, Sept. 10, William will visit Llanelli in west Wales, where he will spend time with schoolchildren, the local air ambulance crews and the national women’s rugby team.

On Sept. 12, he will represent his father, King Charles, when he attends the Sovereign’s Parade at the Royal Air Force College in Cranwell, Lincolnshire. The parade will include four International Officer Cadets from Jordan, Kenya, Pakistan and Uganda.

Next week, William is set to visit Aberdeen to check on the progress of his Homewards campaign to help the unhoused. He is also planning to be in Cape Town for the Earthshot Prize in November.
