WARNING: Four-Word Verdict To Catherine As She And William Set To Face Another Separation
When Katherine kicked off the holiday season by hosting her annual Together at Christmas concert, it looked as though everything had returned to normal. But as anyone who’s ever battled a serious illness can tell you, recovery is not always a consistent, linear process. It now looks as though the princess will not be resuming her full slate of royal duties as early as expected.
However, with the new year underway, speculation has grown over whether she will attend any royal tours this year. According to a source close to the Wales family, William and Catherine are set to face another separation again.
Recently, Donald Trump is reportedly set to invite Prince William and Princess Katherine to Washington, D.C., following his meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The former U.S. president was reportedly impressed by the Prince of Wales when they met in Paris last December for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral. Sources claim Trump was deeply impressed by William, praising him as “a great guy” and expressing a strong desire to host the royal couple in the U.S.
The prince’s extraordinary meeting with Donald Trump last December in Paris was hailed by both sides for its warmth, with the U.S. leader describing the Prince of Wales as “a good man who was doing a fantastic job and very handsome.” William and the King both have overseas travel planned in the coming weeks, but it is perhaps at home where they can best work their charm—with the Queen and the Princess of Wales by their sides for maximum effect.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were expected to make a big tour to the U.S., but it has been pointed out that the monarchs would be facing an embarrassing situation if Prince William and Katherine Middleton were also made part of the tour, as they would grab the spotlight away from them.
In any case, Trump is mindful of Katherine’s ongoing health concerns and understands if she is unable to attend. A forward verdict has understood that any tours abroad are not on the table. Despite this, insiders have shared that the couple may have some more trips lined up. A tour abroad would be tremendously stressful for her, knowing the world is watching.
On the other hand, a palace official has also claimed the princess still requires her doctor’s permission to travel abroad as her recovery process continues following her successful battle against cancer.
During their December meeting, Trump and William reportedly discussed the close ties between the UK and the U.S. The two shared a warm handshake, with Trump later commending the future King for “doing a fantastic job.” While no official confirmation has been made by either government, Trump has expressed interest in visiting the UK again during his second term, potentially strengthening diplomatic ties between the two nations.
King Charles reportedly has feelings about President Donald Trump’s recent comments about his son. Trump revealed that he has no plans to deport Prince Harry. He suggested that he feels sorry for Prince Harry, not because of the Heritage Foundation’s claims against him but because of his wife.
“I do think the U.S. would do something with the royals that could involve Charles and Camilla, but it could also involve the Prince and Princess of Wales going to the United States,” a commentator suggested. It is possible that Trump may make a semi-official visit, similar to when he visited the late Queen in 2019.
There is also a protocol in which no U.S. president has revisited the UK on two separate state visits. A second state visit is something that has never happened before. “Something with the royal family could happen as that would appeal to Trump, but it is early days. We don’t know what exactly is being planned,” the commentator explained.
The King, just by being a master diplomat, will find a way of making it work and developing that relationship. He and William are real experts at diplomacy—they’ve had a lifetime of it. They’ll find common ground, and they are good listeners. Trump loves some of their stardust rubbing off on him, and it’s vitally important that the most is made of these relationships.
Foreign Office officials are understood to be keen for either the King or the Prince to visit the U.S. in turn, but a trip would most likely take place in 2026 when the country marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
