The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, will not be resuming her royal engagements until her medical team gives her the green light, Kensington Palace has announced. The news comes after Middleton stepped back from public appearances in recent weeks due to ongoing health issues.
Kensington Palace has released a statement regarding the return to work of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. The statement reads, "The Princess of Wales is not expected to return to work until it's cleared by her medical team." This announcement comes after Middleton stepped back from public appearances in recent weeks due to ongoing health issues.
Middleton has been experiencing severe morning sickness as a result of her pregnancy with her third child. The Duchess of Cambridge is said to be "suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum," a condition that causes severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The condition can be debilitating, and in some cases, can lead to dehydration and malnutrition.
Middleton's condition has forced her to cancel several public engagements in recent weeks, including a planned visit to a children's hospice in Norfolk. The Duchess is said to be "disappointed" to have to miss these engagements, but she is "following the advice of her doctors" and is "resting at home."
It is not yet known when Middleton will be able to return to work. Her medical team will continue to monitor her condition and will advise her when she is well enough to resume her royal duties.
In the meantime, Middleton's husband, Prince William, has been carrying out her engagements on her behalf. The Duke of Cambridge has recently visited a number of charities and organizations, including the Anna Freud Centre, a children's mental health charity, and the Royal Marsden Hospital, a cancer treatment centre.
Middleton's pregnancy has been a source of great joy for the royal family. The couple announced the pregnancy in September, and they are said to be "overjoyed" to be expecting their third child. The baby is due in April 2018.
Middleton's condition is not uncommon during pregnancy. Hyperemesis gravidarum affects about 1 in 100 pregnant women. The condition usually begins in the early weeks of pregnancy and peaks between weeks 8 and 12. It typically resolves by the 20th week of pregnancy.
In some cases, hyperemesis gravidarum can be severe and can lead to dehydration and malnutrition. This can require hospitalization and treatment with intravenous fluids and medications.
Middleton is being closely monitored by her medical team and is receiving the necessary care to manage her condition. She is expected to make a full recovery and to return to her royal duties once she has been cleared by her doctors.
