A mental health expert has insisted that the Princess of Wales’ return to royal duties “needs to strike a careful balance”.
The 42-year-old royal underwent planned abdominal surgery at the London Clinic last month and is recuperating at the family home in Adelaide Cottage, Windsor.
The mother-of-three will not return to public service until after Easter, saying in an email that any necessary work may be done from her bed and that her return to public service will depend on medical advice closer to that time. I understand online.
UK-based therapist Sophie Cress has spoken out about some of the challenges the Princess of Wales may face as she resumes her duties as a senior member of the royal family.
Speaking to GB News, the expert said: “The Duchess will likely ease back into her royal responsibilities, prioritizing what suits her energy and health at the moment.”
“Psychologically speaking, it’s important that Kate maintains a sense of autonomy and control over her schedule as she gradually returns to work.”
The therapist explained how the royal family needed to “strike a careful balance” and said Kate would benefit from an engagement that offered some flexibility.
The expert went on to say it was “important” that Kate was able to balance her “physical and mental health” as she returned to work.
Earlier this month, the Daily Mail exclusively revealed that Duchess Kate joined Prince William and their three children for a half-term holiday at Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
“The Duchess of Cambridge is recovering well,” a friend told diary editor Richard Eden. “She was looking forward to a change of scenery so she could chill out in Norfolk while her children de-stressed with William.”
When news broke that Kate had been discharged from hospital, a Kensington Palace spokesperson said: “The Princess of Wales has returned to her home in Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery.” She is making good progress.
“The Prince and Princess would like to express their huge gratitude to the entire team at the London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided.
“The Welsh family remains grateful for the blessings we have received from around the world.”
Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales underwent surgery hours before it was revealed that King Charles would undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate. Earlier this month, the palace announced that the king had been diagnosed with cancer.
There had previously been concerns that the length of time the Duchess had been in a luxury London clinic suggested the surgery was “serious”.
The exact details of the princess’s condition have not been disclosed, but the palace previously said it was not cancer-related and that the duchess preferred not to release private medical information.
Although bed rest is recommended for people recovering from invasive surgery, doctors also emphasize the importance of sitting to avoid muscle wasting and gradually returning to an active lifestyle depending on symptoms. I’m emphasizing it.
However, William is believed to be taking his three children to and from school, and is expected to avoid strenuous activities for the time being.
The heir to the throne is said to be a “hands-on” father and regularly appears at the gates of Lambrook School in Berkshire, but sources say he is a “hands-on” father who is also known for his work with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Louis. As his wife recovers, she says she is “not upset” about raising the prince.
Duchess Kate’s parents, Carole Middleton and Michael Middleton, and her siblings, Pippa Matthews and James Middleton, are also expected to help the Welsh couple through the coming months while the princess recovers. .
The family is supported by a staff that includes their long-time faithful nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borralo.
