Prince William gave her his undivided attention during her recovery.
Other family members pitched in to support her little family, and her mother and siblings were also fully committed to her rehabilitation.”

“While Kate has been ‘put on notice’ by the release of the Royal Foundation’s Business Task Force for Early Childhood report released last week, there is no indication she is set to return to work anytime soon,” the source said. “She will only return to work when her medical team gives her the go-ahead.”
