Nearly four weeks had passed since his last public appearance. But on February 7, Prince William<\/strong><\/a> was back in action. After clearing his schedule amid Princess Kate<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s January 16 abdominal surgery<\/a>, 13-day London Clinic stay and first week of recovery at home, the future king, 41, bestowed royal honors on community members in Windsor before attending a fundraising gala for London\u2019s Air Ambulance.<\/p>\n While William may have returned to work, a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> his main role continues to be caretaker. Kate, 42, still has a long road ahead following her \u201cplanned\u201d operation<\/a>, with Kensington Palace previously revealing she\u2019s unlikely to return to official duties until after Easter.<\/p>\n \u201cWilliam is constantly propping up cushions and offering her back rubs \u2014 so much so that Kate has had to scold him to leave her in peace!\u201d shares the source, noting kids Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, have been \u201cdoting\u201d on their recuperating mother, as well. \u201cThey\u2019re all going overboard to make sure she feels comfortable. Their house is filled with Kate\u2019s favorite flowers, comfy blankets and pillows, and her go-to snacks. The family is just incredibly happy to have her back home at Adelaide Cottage.\u201d<\/p>\n The palace has said Kate is \u201cmaking good progress.\u201d<\/a> That\u2019s no doubt, in part, to George, Charlotte and Louis helping to lift her spirits. \u201cThey have been telling Kate stories, bringing tea and making her soup. Charlotte even arranged a spa day,\u201d adds the source. \u201cShe needs to rest, but Kate doesn\u2019t have the heart to turn them away.\u201d<\/p>\nIn This Together<\/h2>\n
