She was discussing the mounting pressure on the future king regarding his royal duties as well as looking after his family.

Anderson told GB New host Camilla Tominey: "I think William will try and shield her from as much of that pressure as possible. I hear they've gone to Sandringham for half term week next week, to recuperate.”

The royal expert further said, "And I think he will try and give her as much space as she needs to, to recuperate."

Prince William has stepped back from royal duties temporarily after Kensington Palace announced on January 17 that Kate Middleton underwent a "planned abdominal surgery" at the London Clinic.
