The health of the king and princess has sparked much speculation in the press.
Back in the public eye
Of course, there is the issue of privacy.
For Prince William, protecting his wife while she recovers is paramount.
Kensington Palace does not want details of her health to be made public, and her aides are not required to say anything more about it.
But when Catherine returns to public duties, the study will be intense.
All eyes will be on her.
What would it look like? What is perceived? Seems weird?
Her team is well aware of the fervor at the moment, so protecting her now is even more important.
They will choose very carefully when and how they will see her again in public for the first time.
