Prince William may return to royal duties “next week” when Princess Kate is “settled,” a source has claimed.
The Prince of Wales has been caring for his wife and looking after their three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - at their home in Windsor.
The princess left The London Clinic on Monday where she spent 14 days resting following an abdominal operation.
Rebecca English, the Daily Mail’s Royal Editor, revealed that the family should get back to normality next week.

English said: “I think we could see him [William] doing some public engagements towards the end of next week I have to say.
“I think he'll start to go back to work once she's [Kate] settled.”
The King is also currently recovering at home following his treatment for an enlarged prostate but is unlikely to get back to work for another few weeks.
English said: “The King headed immediately for Clarence House, which is a London residence, and my understanding was that it was because he wanted to be within the vicinity of the hospital just for the first few days.
“But after that I suspect he will head out to the country, maybe Windsor or Highgrove, for the next two or three weeks for recuperation.”
The royal commentator also revealed that the King may not be out in public “until the end of February” as he recovers.
The Princess of Wales is also not likely to return to any royal public duties until after Easter, which only leaves a few senior royals left to work.
Princess Anne, Queen Camilla and the Duchess of Edinburgh are stepping up this week as the only senior royals on public engagements.
