Following her abdominal surgery in January, the Princess of Wales took a step back from royal duties. However, she has been actively involved in overseeing a U.K. study commissioned and funded by her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. This study aimed to test the feasibility of a new baby behavior observation tool.
A spokesperson from the Palace stated to the Telegraph newspaper on March 21, «The Princess has been kept updated throughout the process.»
She must be very busy now.

The 10-month study concluded with «overwhelmingly positive» results, according to the Institute of Health Visiting, which conducted the trial. On March 21, the group reported their findings. They researched the effectiveness of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) and its shorter version, the m-ADBB, in evaluating infants’ social behaviors during routine health visits.
Results showed that the health workers who participated in the study rated both training programs highly and acquired «additional knowledge and skills» for explaining their observations.
Kate has always been passionate about research and philanthropy related to children, especially since she shares three kids, Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8), and Prince Louis (5), with her husband, Prince William. In 2021, she launched the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, building on her Early Years charitable initiative that she debuted two years earlier.
The Palace previously mentioned that Kate wouldn’t return to public duties until after Easter following her surgery in January.

The Palace, which had previously stated that the princess was unlikely to resume public duties until after Easter following her surgery in January, provided a brief update amidst ongoing discussions about Kate’s recovery and activities. Despite her absence from the public eye, there have been occasional sightings, such as a couple resembling Kate and William photographed at a farm shop in Windsor on March 16.
Despite recovering from surgery, Kate Middleton remains dedicated to her charitable work, even from home. Recent sightings with William show she’s on the mend.
This latest update about Kate comes after major news and photo agencies removed an official, edited picture of her and the kids, released by Kensington Palace, citing that it did not meet their editorial standards. In response, Kate issued a rare statement, which we covered in another article.

Heartbreaking Tragedy: 3-Year-Old Boy’s Life Cut Short on His Birthday
We announce with heavy hearts the tragic news of the death of 3-year-old Josiah Toleafoa, who cruelly passed away on his third birthday, which was meant to be a day of joy and celebration.
Josiah and his family were attending a kids’ party at Play City, which has an indoor parking lot where the event took place. Young Josiah was struck by a car in a horrible turn of events that left his family and everyone in attendance shocked and incredulous.
Witnesses describe the horrifying sight as Josiah’s mother, distraught, screamed and sobbed while paramedics worked frantically to save her son. Josiah was declared dead at the Rady Children’s Hospital in spite of their best attempts. The unthinkable had occurred, shattering the world of this family.
Investigations are currently ongoing on the accident’s circumstances. The driver in question, a 36-year-old whose identity is pending confirmation, was not impaired by drink or drugs. He stayed and assisted the authorities from the spot. The precise reason for the mishap is still a mystery.
The family has banded together during this unbearably difficult time to establish a GoFundMe campaign to help Josiah’s parents with the costs of his funeral. Josiah was a happy youngster, according to his aunt Tatiana Toleafoa, whose smile and kind heart made everyone around him happy. The thought of all the incredible things Josiah may have achieved if his life hadn’t been tragically cut short is heartbreaking.
“This GoFundMe page is for my sweet nephew’s funeral costs and services. He was a little angel who touched so many lives in so many different ways before he was called to Heaven.” “Anything at all, in any amount, would help.”
The owner of Play City donated $2,000, and the landlord matched the amount, demonstrating how the community has come together in support of the bereaved family. But as of right now, no one has been taken into custody.
We are so sorry for Josiah’s family at this unbearable loss. Nothing can compare to the unbearable pain that losing a child can cause a family. We ask that you remember them during this trying time and offer our sincerest condolences to them.
Peace be with you, darling Josiah.
