Shuter referred to Kate Middleton as a potential future "absentee Queen" who may prefer a quiet life in the countryside with her children rather than residing in Buckingham Palace and ruling over England. He even suggested that insiders have informed him of the potential for Kate to step back from her duties as a working royal, following in the footsteps of Meghan and Harry.
While dispelling any rumors of an impending divorce, Shuter clarified that he doesn't believe William and Kate are heading towards a split. However, he did express the opinion that Kate may indeed become an "absentee queen" in the future.
The notion of Kate Middleton relinquishing her role as a working royal and taking a step back, similar to Meghan and Harry's decision, raises the possibility of her pursuing a different path. It remains to be seen whether Kate's priorities will lead her to prioritize a more private and family-focused life rather than full-time royal duties. As discussions unfold, the question of Kate's potential departure from the spotlight and her role within the royal family continues to capture interest and speculation.
