Prince William has confirmed that Princess Kate will return to royal duties next year.
During an interview this week in South Africa, the Prince of Wales stated that the couple will have some trips lined up for 2025.
William also stressed that his three young children take priority over everything else.
The royal was asked what he was looking forward to in the coming year during an interview with the Sunday Times.

The Prince of Wales said: “Family-wise, you have to wait a little bit longer because obviously they’re at school and I think that takes priority over everything else.
“But I think hopefully Catherine will be doing a bit more next year, so, we’ll have some more trips maybe lined up.”
William and Kate attended the Festival of Remembrance at London’s Royal Albert Hall this evening in a rare joint public appearance together since the Princess of Wales was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
In September, Kate confirmed she had completed her preventative chemotherapy treatment.
The Prince of Wales also discussed his differing approach to being a member of the monarchy and undertaking royal duties compared to older generations of the Firm.

He said: “I’m trying to do it for my generation. And to give you more of an understanding around it, I’m doing it with maybe a smaller R in the royal if you like.
“So it’s more about impact philanthropy, collaboration, convening, and helping people. I’m also going to throw empathy in there as well because I really care about what I do. It helps impact people’s lives.
“We could do with some more empathetic leadership around the world.
“So that’s what I’m trying to bring, that’s what Catherine is trying to bring as well.
This week the Prince of Wales was in South Africa for the fourth Earthshot Prize award ceremony.

“I sit here right now doing Earthshot and doing all the projects I’m doing, like Homewards as well.
“And who knows what’s going to come next, but it all centres around those values of trying to help deliver change and make those lives better.”
