Kate Middleton might be making a high-profile return to New York City as early as next month. Just months after stepping back from her royal duties to undergo treatment for cancer, the Princess of Wales is reportedly ready to resume international travel, and her first stop could be the Big Apple.
According to a recent report from Life & Style, Kate is planning to accompany Prince William when he travels to the United States in September for the annual Earthshot Summit. This potential trip marks a significant moment for the couple, as it would be their first visit to New York City together in a decade.
The last time the royal couple visited New York was over ten years ago, when Kate was pregnant with Princess Charlotte. During that trip, the then-young couple stayed at the luxurious Carlyle Hotel, enjoying their time in a city that has since become an important part of their story. Now, a decade later, the Prince and Princess of Wales may be planning a triumphant return.

Prince William co-founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020 with the goal of recognizing and rewarding innovators in the field of environmental sustainability. Insiders reveal that Kate’s presence at the summit would significantly boost the event’s profile, and she’s eager to lend her support.

“Kate is very excited to be getting back in the swing of royal duties,” a source told Life & Style. The insider added that supporting William in his efforts toward environmental action “means the world to her.”

Kate’s Remarkable Road to Recovery

Kate’s return to royal duties is noteworthy, especially considering her recent health challenges. Earlier this summer, she made an appearance at Wimbledon, where she presented trophies to the tournament’s winners. More recently, she appeared alongside Snoop Dogg in a video celebrating the conclusion of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Her swift return to the public eye is a positive sign for her recovery. Known for her dedication to her work, sources close to Kate say she was eager to resume her royal responsibilities.

A Much-Needed Getaway

While supporting a worthy cause may be the primary reason for their trip to New York, sources indicate that Kate and William are also looking forward to spending some quality time together. “They’ve been craving the chance to get away and have some fun, so this serves as a perfect opportunity to do just that,” says the source.

Being away from their three children and enjoying the vibrant energy of New York City will be a welcome treat for the couple. “Friends are saying Kate needs this more than anything,” the insider shared.

Style and Elegance in the Big Apple

As always, Kate is expected to be impeccably styled throughout the trip. “She plans to work with at least two stylists, so she has a good range of choices,” the source noted.

If all goes according to plan, Kate Middleton’s return to New York City will not only mark a milestone in her recovery but also reaffirm her commitment to her royal duties and her support for environmental causes alongside Prince William.
