The entry in the Court Circular read: "The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron of The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, this afternoon held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle." This marks her official return to work and signals her intention to gradually resume her public engagements.
Princess Kate announced her cancer diagnosis on March 22 and completed her chemotherapy in early September. In a social media video posted on September 9, she shared the news of finishing treatment, expressing relief after a difficult nine-month battle.
Despite her illness, Kate stayed informed about her early years' project while recovering at home. The project explores how early childhood experiences often lead to significant social issues like addiction, mental health struggles, family breakdowns, and homelessness, as outlined on the Royal Family's website.
Over the summer, the princess made two public appearances: at Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon in July. For now, her only confirmed event is a Remembrance Sunday service on November 10, where she will support veterans and their families. She also plans to host her annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey later in the year.
Though other engagements remain unconfirmed, Kate is expected to return to her royal responsibilities when possible. A source shared that she might have a lighter schedule, focusing on her recovery while taking on a few key engagements.
In her video announcement, filmed at her family's Anmer Hall residence, Kate expressed gratitude for completing treatment, reflecting on how cancer had impacted her family and brought a new perspective to her life. She remains focused on her well-being while planning her return to royal duties.
