Recent reports suggest that in 2025, Prince William is expected to undertake royal duties and public appearances without Kate Middleton by his side[1]. The speculation arises because Kate does not plan to accompany her husband in public engagements this year.
The rumored change is likely influenced by Kate Middleton’s health, as she has just completed chemotherapy treatments for her cancer[1]. Some observers believe her decision to step back from royal work is for recovery and to prioritize family, especially after a challenging period for the couple[2].
However, these reports do not indicate any formal separation of duties or a change in their partnership outside public events. In fact, William and Kate have recently made joint public appearances—including a notable visit to the Natural History Museum in London, marking Kate’s visible return to royal duties after her health-related absence[3][5][6][7]. During this public engagement, both appeared together, visibly engaged and supportive of each other’s efforts.
Additionally, the couple is reportedly planning to move as a family to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park—further emphasizing their intent to maintain family unity despite challenging times[2][5].
There is no reliable confirmation from official royal sources of a permanent or formal split in responsibilities. The narrative of Prince William “leaving Kate Middleton behind” relates mainly to her current withdrawal from public duties due to her health, not a broader shift in their relationship or joint work as royals.
