Kate Middleton’s long-awaited return from the hospital no
doubt fills the royal family’s “void” as it’s one step closer to their return
to normality, according to King Charles III’s former butler.
The Princess of Wales, 42, was discharged
from the London Clinic on Monday morning after recovering from her
abdominal surgery for a total of 13 days following her
hospitalization on Jan. 16.
She was whisked away to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, where
she was reunited with Prince William and their three children.
She will continue
recovering there behind closed doors until after Easter, and,
according to former royal butler Grant Harold, Middleton’s return will
see William
step up even more than he has already done.
“Like any family, it’s always wonderful when a loved one is
able to come back home. I’m sure the kids are really excited to have Kate
back,” Harold exclusively told The Post.

“It will also be great for William, because when your partner
or your loved one isn’t home, it leaves a void.”
“The fact that Kate is back home, behind closed doors, it’ll
mean they’re able to return to some sense of normality,” he added.
William, who had hit the brakes on his official engagements
while Kate was in the hospital, is expected to resume his official duties once
the princess settles in back at home.
Royal sources say Kate’s return to official duties “will
depend on medical advice closer to the time.”
Harold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was
the Prince of Wales, says William will no doubt be waiting on Kate “hand and
foot.”
“He’s a very caring, very loving kind of character and I
noticed that a lot when I spent time with them both back in the day,” Harold
recalled. “I’ve no doubt that wouldn’t have changed, William will make sure
Kate is cared for and that she has a quick recovery.”

“The sooner her recovery, I’m sure the sooner the pair will
get back to carrying out their royal duties together, which is something
that I think they enjoy,” he shared, adding that the husband and wife “enjoy
their working life together.”
“I think they’ll be keen to get back to normal with it,”
he said, adding that the pair do not have a large household at their Windsor
residence.
“There won’t be a huge team there on hand. It’ll be her
husband who’ll mainly be doing that, helping her to get back onto her feet.”

Since news of Middleton’s health woes came to light,
Kensington Palace has contacted the princess’ 30 charities to postpone and
reschedule engagements.
Following Prince
William’s brief visit to the hospital on Jan. 18, Middleton had
reportedly kept in touch with her three children — Prince George, 10,
Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 — via FaceTime.
Last week, it was reported that Middleton didn’t
tell those close to the royal family about her surgery.
