After news came out last week that Kate Middleton has been a no-show in Prince William's social circle, she may finally have decided to be visible once again by joining her husband in a tour to the Caribbean next year.

By accompanying the prince in his Royal tour, the Duchess of Cambridge may be starting to shed light on her noticeable absence from the prince's side and the limelight, reported the Daily Mail.

And as part of preparations for the supposed trip, she has reportedly skipped the Middleton Family's traditional start-of-the-year trip to Mustique.

The 33-year-old duchess' cancellation of her visit to the Grenadines Islands and re-scheduling it to November provided the initial clues that she indeed had plans of taking part in her husband's Caribbean tour.

Meanwhile, Kate Middleton and Prince William's children are said to be joining them in the Royal tour, which is another bit of good news.

If everything proceeds as planned, the tour will be Prince George's second, while it will be the first for his sister Charlotte.

It is expected that during the trip, which is scheduled sometime between February and March of next year, much of the public's attention will be focused on the couple's adorable offspring.

Princess Charlotte is expected to be a scene stealer, similar to what her brother did during the royal family's trip to Australia a year ago.

An insider told the Daily Mail that "Nothing is certain yet but these things must be planned miles in advanced. It certainly won't be a holiday."

In the meantime, the news that Kate Middleton skipped the wedding of a close friend last weekend should not be a cause for concern, according to the Daily Beast.

The duchess is said doing fine and is certainly not suffering from post-natal depression after giving birth to her daughter Charlotte, as some have theorized.

Further fueling rumors that Prince William's wife may not be too well is the Palace's reluctance to confirm when the Duchess will be back in harness.

But the truth is that she is not yet ready to dispense her royal duties and be exposed once again to the public's intense scrutiny

Although Kate Middleton has received much flak with the news that she has not stood by Prince William's side during his social functions, she has stressed that her most important job is raising, nurturing, and caring for her children.
