Royal watchers are eagerly waiting for an update on Kate Middleton's cancer treatment, but a royal expert claims that the royal family is adamant about maintaining secrecy and preventing any damaging leaks.

"According to royal expert Ian Pelham Turner, who spoke to Planet Chronicle Digital, the truth is that no one truly knows how Kate is feeling. There are many rumors circulating among those who seek to advance their own careers. However, in reality, when the royal family chooses to keep their doors closed, they have centuries of experience in doing so."

"Kate has been referred to as the royal family's most valuable asset by the global press in recent days," he stated. "She is viewed as the top royal figure, ensuring the stability of the monarchy's future."

Royal experts have been sharing insights about Kate's recovery based on palace insiders' reports following her appearance at this year's Trooping the Colour.

According to Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," Kate is currently engaged in a waiting game, adhering strictly to her doctor's orders and hoping that upcoming tests will indicate that the chemo has been successful.

Andersen stated that it is a stressful and debilitating time for Kate, which is intensified by the fact that the world is also holding its breath along with her.

The Princess of Wales was greeted by cheering crowds on June 15 during her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis earlier this year at Trooping the Colour in London.

Despite a challenging few months with both King Charles III and Kate, wife of heir to the throne Prince William, undergoing cancer treatment, the annual event served as a demonstration of stability by the monarchy.

In March, Kate revealed that she was undergoing chemotherapy for an undisclosed type of cancer.

Helena Chard, a British broadcaster and photographer, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that Kate has "turned a corner" in her treatment.

"Despite experiencing occasional uncertainty, Chard expressed gratitude for the improvement in her health and renewed enthusiasm for life. She expressed her appreciation for the public's love and support, which had given her a significant boost. Chard was thrilled to be able to support her family and return to duty as a united force. Duty and service are highly valued by her, and she executed her duties with bravery, honor, and fortitude."

""The royal family appeared more united and stronger than ever on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour," said Chard."

Kate's Trooping the Colour appearance was preceded by a statement from the princess, who announced that she is "not out of the woods yet." Officials emphasized that the event did not signify a complete return to public life.

Kate stated that she is making good progress, but chemotherapy can have good days and bad days, and she has a few more months of treatment ahead.

Kate has been quietly busy behind palace doors while relying on her family for support during tough days, as Andersen told Planet Chronicle Digital.

"Kate occasionally concentrates on causes she has long supported, such as mental health awareness. She is also seen running errands with her mother. However, Kate's primary responsibility at present is ensuring that her three children enjoy their summer holiday as they always do, which includes swimming, horseback riding, and spending time with their cousins at Anmer Hall, their countryside home on the Sandringham estate."

"Kate enjoys cooking and baking for her family, playing cards and board games, especially Scrabble, and has been reflecting on her photography work due to her current circumstances. She was happy with the positive response to her Father's Day and William's birthday pictures, and is sending a message of hope and optimism to the world."

It is uncertain if Kate will accompany her family on their annual pilgrimage to Balmoral, where the king and his wife, Queen Camilla, will be hosting family members until early September.

"The Princess of Wales may need to stay at Anmer Hall for chemotherapy while William and the children go to Scotland without her. Kate is determined to ensure that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have a fun summer despite their mother's medical issues. That's just the kind of person she is."

Kate is eager to return to royal duties but has been enjoying her privacy with her family. Her husband has been her rock, determined to fully support her.

"Chard stated that spending time with her family brings her joy and she lives in positive flow whenever possible. Princess Catherine has also created fun times with her children, recognizing that children can be negatively impacted by illness. It is evident that their family life is good, as her children appear relaxed and happy. The love of her extended family also gives her great hope. King Charles has said that they are fortunate to have her as a cherished member of the royal family."

"Chard shared that she continues to work on her "Shaping Us" campaign and other sections of her charity work while being vocal in using her platform to create positive change."

According to Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di For Daily podcast, the Princess of Wales has been focusing on her family and taking time to rest and recover.

"Schofield stated that the family loves sports and spending time outdoors. Catherine is excited to take the dog and children for a stroll around their estate during summer. When the kids are at school, she picks them up and drops them off with Prince William. No one bothers them, and they are treated normally. The Prince and Princess of Wales often attend their children's sporting events and cheer enthusiastically from the stands."

Many are hoping for a special appearance from Kate sooner than expected this summer, although the exact date of her return to public duties is unknown.

"Hilary Fordwich, a British royals expert, informed Planet Chronicle Digital that the next objective of the royal family member is to rally in order to attend the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Law Tennis Club starting July 1. As a devoted tennis fan and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, she typically watches major matches from the Royal Box and later presents trophies to the winners."
