Kate Middleton rests while Prince William travels abroad

Kate Middleton is taking a break at home while Prince William goes on an important foreign visit. She recently attended the St. Patrick's Day parade as Colonel of the Irish Guards. Prince William often performs royal duties alone. This is partly because Kate is still recovering from cancer treatment. She is slowly returning to her royal responsibilities after finishing her chemotherapy. Kate was diagnosed with cancer last year, shortly after her father-in-law, King Charles, faced a similar diagnosis. It is unclear if she will resume her royal duties while Prince William is away. William's trip is significant as Britain and other European countries are increasing their defense spending. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized that NATO nations need to contribute more to European security.
