Kate Middleton “Has Got Her Mojo Back” After Challenging Year, Royal Expert Says

“She is the star of the royal family.”

Kate Middleton made her return to the annual Commonwealth Day service yesterday, clad in a red Catherine Walker re-wear and tribute jewelry to both Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth.

The March 10 event at Westminster Abbey—where she and husband Prince William were married nearly 14 years ago—is the latest step in the Princess of Wales’ continual return to royal duty after her cancer battle last year. (The Commonwealth Day service is one of the yearly events she missed in 2024, as she remained out of the limelight most of the year.)

As she announced earlier this year she is in remission, “It certainly seems to me that she has got her mojo back,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK. “Catherine is looking fantastic and looks as if she is enjoying every engagement.”

After being out of public duty so much last year, “we are seeing more of her than many of us expected so early in the year,” Bond added, making note that “the welcome she’s getting wherever she goes must make her realize that she is the star of the royal family.”

Last year saw not only Kate’s cancer diagnosis but also King Charles’; while Kate’s cancer treatment has concluded, his continues. While William and Kate are still the Prince and Princess of Wales—and not on the throne, as they will eventually be—the couple are taking every chance they can get to be with kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, including skipping the BAFTAs last month in favor of a family vacation in the Caribbean.

“She knows perfectly well that many parents don’t have the luxury of choosing to be with their young children all the time,” Bond recently told The Mirror. “And she, too, is returning to her royal role—but she is lucky enough to be able to do it on her own terms, and she is sticking to that.”

Last year’s health battle realigned Kate’s priorities, as well as those of her husband, Bond said. “I don’t think anyone is ever the same after an experience with cancer,” she said. “William and Catherine must now cherish even more every single day that they spend together and with their children.”
