Prince William, 42, let it be known that Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, will be getting back to a normal royal routine when the calendar changes to 2025!

"I think, hopefully, Catherine will be doing a bit more next year," the heir to the British throne told the press on Saturday, November 9. "So, we’ll have some more trips maybe lined up."

During his recent Earthshot initiative events in South Africa, the future king shared, "Family-wise, you have to wait a little bit longer because obviously they’re at school and I think that takes priority [over] everything else," when asked about more joint Wales couple trips.

When a reporter told HRH he looked "relaxed," the next monarch replied, "I couldn’t be less relaxed this year, so it’s very interesting you’re all seeing that."

In January, both the future queen and King Charles III underwent surgeries that reportedly led to discoveries of undisclosed types of cancer for each senior royal. The King's diagnosis was revealed on February 5, and Kate personally shared her cancer battle news in an "emotional video" on March 22. His Majesty is still receiving chemotherapy while the princess finished her course of the same treatment in early September, in which another video declared her cancer-free to the world.

Prince William added, "But it’s more a case of just crack on and you’ve got to keep going. I enjoy my work and I enjoy pacing myself and keeping sure that I have got time for my family, too."

The Princess of Wales attended both annual Remembrance Day services in London on Saturday, November 9, and Sunday, November 10. The latter at the Cenotaph found some critics "disgustingly" attacking HRH for her looks despite the somberness of the events and her recent health struggles.

"How did she have cancer if she didn’t lose her hair?" someone wrote on X in response to the future queen wearing her long hair down at the Festival of Remembrance on November 9.

Another quipped, "When it is a glamorous event her illness disappears and she can then 'work.'"

Nevertheless, this follows good news from Kate biographer Robert Jobson who recently dished, "From what I understand, Catherine is doing very well. She is back training at the gym and doing all the things she wanted to do. I do think that we will start to see a lot more of her and that she will carry out engagements as well as continuing to work behind the scenes."

Conflicting reports suggest the King is also "doing well," however, His Majesty is still battling the disease unlike his daughter-in-law.

Her Majesty Queen Camilla is also currently battling a "serious" chest infection, in what one royal analyst called the royal family's "year of health crises." Princess Anne also suffered a "mysterious" head injury at her home in late June, while Sarah Ferguson battled skin cancer earlier this year.
