Kensington Palace has taken the extraordinary step of issuing a rare statement denying claims made in Tatler magazine that the Duchess of Cambridge is unhappy about the extra workload now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have resigned as senior members of the royal family.
A Palace spokesperson said, "This story contains a swathe of inaccuracies and false misrepresentations which were not put to Kensington Palace prior to publication."
Tatler is standing by its story, issuing the following statement: "Tatler's Editor-in-Chief Richard Dennen stands behind the reporting of [reporter] Anna Pasternak and her sources. Kensington Palace knew we were running the 'Catherine the Great' cover months ago and we asked them to work together on it. The fact they are denying they ever knew is categorically false."
A source has since told PEOPLE magazine there is no truth in Tatler's claim that Kate feels "furious" and overwhelmed by the heavier workload.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned as senior members of the British Royal Family in January 2020, coming into effect on April 1. This is when the coronavirus pandemic was worsening, causing the royals to isolate at their respective homes.
Prince Charles tested positive to the virus and has since recovered.
Prince William and Kate Middleton were quick to continue their work from their home in Anmer Hall in Norfolk where they are staying with their children Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, five and Prince Louis, two, with the couple calling healthcare workers and dialling into meeting with charities.

Their Royal Highnesses joined residents from the Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff via video call as they played bingo in the home's cinema. Shire Hall provides residential, nursing and dementia care and is part of Hallmark Care Homes, a family-run care provider with 19 care homes across England and Wales.
The Duke and Duchess took their turn as guest bingo callers for one of the games, before speaking to some of the residents and their care workers.
Before the game, The Duke and Duchess heard from members of the care team about the impact of COVID-19 and the challenges that they have faced as a result of the pandemic.
Earlier this month, the Duke of Cambridge held calls with care workers in England and Northern Ireland. Across the calls, they discussed the unique challenges of providing care throughout the pandemic, including the impact of the last few months on the mental health and wellbeing of both those receiving care and the caregivers themselves.

The children's school Thomas's Battersea, closed its London campus in March as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19.
They have spoken of the challenges of home-schooling their children, saying they have continued lessons during what should have been school holidays in order to stay on top of things.
"We don't tell the children we've actually kept going through the holidays. I feel very mean," she joked.
