Kate Middletonis reportedly looking ahead to a possible public appearance amid her ongoingcancer treatment.

The Princess of Wales, 42, hopes to “potentially” join her husbandPrince William, and father-in-lawKing Charles, 75, along with the rest of the royal family as they pay tribute to fallen service members on Remembrance Sunday in November, according to a Sept. 8 report inThe Sunday Times.

The November 10 ceremony, where royals, politicians, and military leaders gather at the Cenotaph memorial in Whitehall, London, is a major event in the royal calendar. If she attends, it would mark a significant public appearance for Kate. As of now, there is no confirmed date for her return to royal duties, and no official engagements are scheduled. Kate will also not be accompanying William to Cape Town for the Earthshot Prize awards in early November.

Amid her cancer treatment this summer, Kate has continued working from home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. She’s been holding regular meetings with her private secretary, Tom White, assistant private secretary, Natalie Burrows, and the Waleses’ communications secretary, Lee Thompson, to plan for the future and stay updated on the latest research for her royal initiatives.

Her public appearances will depend on how she’s feeling at the time. In June, Kate acknowledged that while she has “good days,” the challenges of chemotherapy bring inevitable tough ones. However, as she shared in her March video address revealing her cancer diagnosis, work continues to bring her “a deep sense of joy."

“Looking forward to working with you!” Kate wrote, signing off with her initial “‘C.’

The following month, she and William interrupted their summer vacationto record a joint video praisingthe athletes at the 2024Paris Olympics.

No date is being given for Kate’s return to public duties and those close to the palace caution against any extra demands being put on her. “It’s good not to feel under pressure and just take her time and have slow days if she needs to,” a source told PEOPLE over the summer.

It’s been just over six months since Kate began chemotherapy in late February, following abdominal surgery in January. In her June update, she shared that her treatment still had “a few more months” left to go.

Like William, the princess has cherished family time over the summer with their three children—Prince George, 11, Charlotte, 9, andPrince Louis, 6. The family primarily enjoyed their time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, before the children returned to Lambrook School near Ascot on September 4. They also visited Balmoral Castle in Scotland to spend time with King Charles and other family members, and were photographed driving to church on August 25.

For William, “family comes first,” as a close friend tells PEOPLE. Like Kate, he has been prioritizing trying to keep things as normal as possible for their children amid his wife’s illness.

The new report inThe Sunday Timescomes as William returned to royal duty after a summer break on Sept. 5 in London.
