LONDON, ENGLAND: Britain's monarch and head of state, King Charles III's son, Prince William, would take over the Royal duties after the King. However, Princess Diana's former royal butler and author, Paul Burrell RVM, recently claimed in 'TMZ Investigates: Where is Kate Middleton?' that Kate Middleton needs to look after the royal family if King Charles unfortunately dies of cancer in future.

Queen Camila has been currently taking care of the royal duties after King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. Paul shared in the documentary, "Kate needs looking after. She's the greatest asset the Royal family have. She's our future queen. She has never put a foot wrong. She needs to be given time and space to do it herself."

He shared his hopes with Kate and claimed that she is the future and that without "Kate the royal family is finished." TMZ's executive producer, Harvey Levin claimed in the documentary, "There may be one person who can turn things around for the royals and that's Princess Kate herself." He added, "When she emerges from hiding if she opens up about her secret struggle it might engender some pithy and understanding."

When will Kate Middleton return to her Royal duties?

Buckingham Palace originally revealed that the Princess Of Wales Kate Middleton would return to her Royal duties after Easter. However, the latest TMZ documentary teased that the Royal fans should expect a much longer time to see Kate again. In the series, Harvey Levin shared that Kate was expected to appear in 2024 'The Color Parade'.

However, Kate's name was surprisingly removed from an announcement about an annual trooping 'The Color Parade' which wasn't until June. The removal of Kate's name from the Tripping the Colour website did not give anyone any assurance following her disappearance and multiple swirling conspiracy theories.

Queen Camilla shares an update on King Charles III's health

Queen Camilla recently provided an update on King Charles III's health amid his ongoing cancer battle. During her visit to Northern Ireland, Camilla revealed, "He's doing very well." She added, "He was very disappointed he couldn't come." After hearing a joke about men "not being the best patients," Camilla noted, "I try to keep him in order."

Shortly after Kate Middleton's hospitalization, Buckingham Palace revealed that Charles "has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate." They shared in the statement, "His Majesty's condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure." The statement added, "The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation."
