  • Summary

  • Kate Middleton is set to take on her most significant royal duty since completing chemotherapy treatment earlier this year. Buckingham Palace has confirmed her participation in the state visit of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his first wife, Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, next week.

    Our Royal Insider Deep Crown has been observing that all of Kate’s appearances have been controlled events. Deep Crown tells Palace Intrigue, “The carefully structured nature of this appearance - a highly formal state visit with clear protocols and predictable photo opportunities - fits perfectly into what appears to be a strategy of controlled,choreographed engagements for Kate. Particularly notable is the specific clarification that she won't attend the evening state banquet - this kind of advance limitation of duties suggests the Palace is being extremely selective about her exposure and energy expenditure. The combination of the formal daytime ceremonies (where she can be photographed looking well in a structured setting) with a clear boundary around evening commitments shows how meticulously they're managing both her recovery and public perception.

    This ties into a broader pattern we've seen with her limited recent appearances, such as the Remembrance events, which were similarly formal and controlled in nature”


    Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan will find themselves on opposite sides of the United States as they both make high-profile appearances. On Wednesday, December 4, Meghan is expected to attend a glamorous Hollywood event in Beverly Hills, celebrating her friend Tyler Perry, who is being honoured with The Paley Honors Award. Both Harry and Meghan are listed on the hosting committee for the evening, but Harry won’t be in attendance.

    Instead, Prince Harry will be in New York City, where he’s scheduled to speak at The New York Times DealBook Conference. While the couple has become known for their unified front, their separate commitments next week underscore their individual endeavors on opposite coasts.
