Kate Middleton has been reprioritizing her life as she continues to undergo treatment for cancer.
The Princess of Wales, 42, stepped back into the spotlight at Trooping the Colour on June 15, marking her first outing with the royal family since Christmas. However, palace aides emphasized the appearance didn’t mean she was resuming royal duties.
“She has been doing what’s right for her and recovering privately at home. She is dealing with it the best she can,” a source close to the royal household tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s cover story.
As Princess Kate herself affirmed in a personal message sharing a health update on June 14, “I am learning to be patient.”
The public will need to do the same until the royal receives clearance from her doctors, but the hope is that her healing is well underway.
“The monarchy is going through one of the most difficult sets of challenges,” says Ailsa Anderson, former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth. “But it just felt like a corner had been turned.”
