GAME ON? Princess Kate ‘would love to go to the Paris Olympics’ but a key factor will inform her decision, claims expert
PRINCESS Kate “would love” to go to the Paris Olympics, following her recent public appearances.
According to the Express, the Princess of Wales is eager to visit the French capital with her family to watch the sporting action.
Kensington Palace hasn’t confirmed her attendance, with Kate currently undergoing preventative cancer treatment following her diagnosis earlier this year.
Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous: “I’m sure Kate would love to go to Paris with William to watch some events but whether she does or not would depend on the advice of her doctors.
“It was great to see her at Trooping the Colour and presenting the trophy to Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon but she will be pacing herself and not doing too much too soon because of her cancer diagnosis.
“She is still undergoing treatment and is in recovery so she needs to be careful.
Large sporting events are of course a breeding ground for viruses and there is a lot of Covid around at the moment so she would not want to get that.”
Sporting fans Prince William and Princess Kate previously attended the 2012 Olympics in London, with the royal mum-of-three being an avid hockey and tennis player.
Phil added: “It’s been a hard year for Kate and William and I’m sure they are looking forward to enjoying family holidays with their children.
“The GB team would love to see them in Paris but they are getting fantastic support from stalwart Princess Anne so it’s not as if there isn’t a royal presence.”
Currently the Wales family are having a summer holiday break with Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis.
The Princess of Wales is still undergoing cancer treatment and has only undertaken a handful of public engagements since her diagnosis announcement in March.
In June, she updated fans: “I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months.”
She added: “My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.
On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.
“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”
Kate made a triumphant return to Trooping the Colour, where she was pictured on the balcony with her family, and also attended the Wimbledon Men’s Final with Princess Charlotte.
Fabulous has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
