Kate Middleton might be bound for New York City as early as next month.

Yes, just months after she was forced to step away from her royal duties in order to undergo treatment for cancer, Kate might be ready to resume international travel.

According to a new report from Life & Style, Kate is planning to join Prince William when he travels to the US for the annual Earthshot Summit in September.

Kate Middleton’s Triumphant Return to New York

Will and Kate first traveled to New York together over a decade ago.

She was pregnant with Princess Charlotte at the time, and the young couple enjoyed a stay at the posh Carlyle Hotel.

Now, ten years later, the Prince and Princess of Wales might be planning a triumphant return to a city that’s played a sizable role in their story.

William co-founded Earthshot in 2020 with the goal of rewarding innovators in the field of environmental studies.

Insiders say that Kate knows her presence would help draw attention to the organization’s annual summit. And she’s eager to help in whatever way she can.

“Kate is very excited to be getting back in the swing of royal duties,” the source tells Life & Style.

The insider added that supporting William and his efforts toward environmental action “means the world to her.”

Kate’s Road to Recovery

Earlier this summer, Kate put in an appearance at Wimbledon, where she presented trophies to the tournament’s winners.

And just last week, she appeared alongside Snoop Dogg in a video celebrating the conclusion of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Kate’s return to the spotlight has come much sooner than expected. And that can only mean good things for her recovery.

Her workaholic ways are the stuff of legend. And sources close to Kate say she couldn’t wait to return to her duties.

But while supporting a worthy cause might be the main reason for their trip to NYC, insiders say Kate and William are also looking forward to spending some quality time together.

“Being away from the kids and holed up in a ritzy hotel will be a treat. Plus, they love New York and its energy.

“Friends are saying Kate needs this more than anything.”

And, of course, you can rest assured that Kate will be flawlessly styled throughout the trip.

“She plans to work with at least two stylists, so she has a good range of choices,” says the source.
