It comes after the Princess posted a personal video with her family earlier this month, sharing that she had completed her chemotherapy and was "looking forward" to returning to public duties.

Kate also attended the Wimbledon men’s final with her daughter, Princess Charlotte, in July, and were both greeted with cheers and applause as they took their seats.
