"Businesses can play a hugely significant role in supporting their current workforce now, but there is also a longer-term opportunity to take a deeper preventative approach and invest in early childhood, to protect and strengthen future generations," read a social media post from the official account of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson informed BBC News on Tuesday that "the princess is not expected to return to work until it's cleared by her medical team."
**Prince William Comments on Kate Middleton’s Health**
Last week, Prince William provided a positive update on his wife’s health, one of the few public comments about her condition since she announced in March that she was undergoing cancer treatment.
"I asked William about his wife Kate and he said, ‘she’s doing well, thanks,’" hospital administrator Tracy Smith told reporters as William toured St. Mary’s Community Hospital on the Isles of Scilly. "And I suggested they might like to come for a visit and bring the children."
Prince William has resumed public duties in her place, supported by other members of the royal family.
**Kate Middleton’s Cancer Diagnosis**
The Princess of Wales stepped away from public duties after announcing on March 22 that she had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer. In a video message, she shared that she had begun chemotherapy.
"It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful," she said in the video released by the palace.
She continued: "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful; however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."
Kate thanked the public for their love and support but requested space and privacy while she completes her chemotherapy treatment.
"My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I’m able. But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery. At this time, I’m also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone," she concluded.
