Kate Middleton has been relieved of all official royal engagements overseas this year
Kate Middleton has announced that, along with Prince William, she will not be traveling overseas on a royal tour for the rest of the year. Instead she will spend her time with her new baby as she adjusts to motherhood.
GENETICIST PREDICTS WHAT KATE MIDDLETON’S BABY WILL LOOK LIKE
Last year the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honoured their official royal duty when they visited the Far East and, after their wedding in 2011, they spent 10 days in Canada and America.
The couple’s principle private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton confirmed the royal hiatus on Monday saying: ‘I’m not anticipating the Duke and Duchess taking on overseas tours because of her baby.’
He went on to stress that the option of a royal tour will be ‘assessed’ later on although it is highly unlikely they will travel abroad following the birth on their baby. However a source close to the royals told The Mirror that William may commit to a short trip alone.
