Kate Middleton 'Stretched Pretty Thin' & 'In A Panic' Post-Megxit!

The Megxit ripple effect is hitting all members of the royal family!

Though it’s been rumored Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie could take on a more active role following the exit of their cousins Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, that doesn’t mean Prince William and Kate Middleton aren’t still feeling a heavier weight on their shoulders.

Things haven’t exactly been easy for the Duchess of Cambridge, an insider revealed to Us Weekly:

“Kate’s in a panic and has been having bouts of anxiety. She barely has time to rest, and when she does try to sleep, her mind is constantly racing.”

Apparently, the 38-year-old sometimes works up to 18 hours per day! The source continued:

“She’s already stretched pretty thin, and now she’s really worried about how she’ll juggle the extra workload on top of her family life.”

Because of all the additions to her plate, the rift between herself and Meghan couldn’t be bigger:

“They couldn’t be further apart.”

Yikes!!

As you may recall, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex previously stepped away from The Royal Foundation, which largely focuses on charity and mental health initiatives, to form their own foundation. Now, William will have more work on his plate than ever before and will be relying on his wife for extra assistance.

A royal confidant shared with The Sun more specifics about Kate’s increasingly busy calendar:

“William knows he will have a lot more work this year and is happy to perform whatever duties the Queen asks of him. But he is determined that won’t be to the detriment of his charity work. Since his brother Harry and Meghan left the Foundation last year, the work it does has been very much in the model of how both William and Kate want it to be.”

The insider added:

“The pair of them personally drive the agenda for the Foundation’s work, attend meetings and have a huge input. Kate is front and centre now where in the past she didn’t have as much of an input. They are very ambitious about what they want to achieve. Performing their royal duties remains incredibly important to them and it always will.”

We can’t even imagine what the momma of three’s date book must look like! The future king is already stressed enough about his grandmother, now he has his wife to worry about, too. We assume she takes a lot of pride in what she does, and it seems like she and her husband have big plans for 2020:

“But the Foundation is where their passion lies and where they believe they can have a huge impact in 2020. Put simply he wants to help bring about a crusade on the issue and feels incredibly passionate about it. Delivering on those aims and ambitions are important to him and he has already drawn up a hectic timetable with his team within the Foundation. Two of the biggest areas are around mental health and supporting those who work in the emergency services.”

While Kate and Meg may not be on the very best of terms, Will and Harry seem determined to make their relationship work moving forward. A senior royal source shared with the publication:

“William and Harry have spent time together privately away from the official Sandringham Summit working on their relationship and discussing their future. It has been ground-breaking in terms of saving their bond as brothers and has been totally driven by them.”

We hope Kate is setting aside LOTS of time (if she has any, that is) for self-care. It sounds like she needs it!!
