Princess Kate will not return to work until she receives the "green light" from doctors, a royal aide has confirmed.

The Princess of Wales, 42, has been kept fully up-to-date on The Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood report.


The report highlights huge opportunities for businesses to benefit from prioritising early childhood in the workplace and beyond.

It also details how investing in early childhood could generate at least £45.5billion in value to help the UK economy each year.

Princess Kate launched the Business Taskforce for Early Childhood in March 2023, to examine how businesses can change the way early childhood is viewed across society.

Despite monitoring the report, the Princess of Wales will not be returning to work in the short term as the royal continues to focus on her health.

Kate announced in March she had started a course of preventative chemotherapy following major abdominal surgery two months prior.

A royal aide stated that Kate will only return to royal duties once she has had the "green light" from doctors.

They said: “This is a clear commitment she has made that throughout her life of public service that this will be focus.

“That will continue when she returns to work.

"But we have been really clear that she needs the space and the privacy to recover right now.

“She will return to work when she has had the green light from doctors.”

The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood wants to increase the focus given to "soft skills", that is, the core social and emotional skills that humans need to thrive.

Setting people up with these skills, starting in early childhood, is a key priority for the Princess of Wales.

Christian Guy, the Executive Director of The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, added: "There is such enormous potential.

"We urge all businesses, no matter what their shape or size, to join us, the eight founding members, the Centre for Early Childhood, and the princess, to help transform the way our country supports the vital early years."
