The Princess of Wales is expected to attend Remembrance Sunday events this weekend after her husband Prince William said she was ‘doing really well’.
Kate is making a gradual return to public duties after completing a course of cancer treatment, with her last high-profile appearance at Trooping the Colour in June.
She has stayed home with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis this week while William is in Cape Town for his Earthshot Prize awards.
Now, Kate is hoping to join other senior members of the Royal family at the annual Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in honour of the war dead this Sunday.
Kensington Palace is yet to confirm the Princess’s attendance at what is an important date in the royal calendar in London, but according to the Press Association she is expected to be present as it stands.

Kate has also spoken with aides about staging her annual Christmas carol service in December, holding a meeting with her team at Windsor Castle on September 24.
Today, William gave an update on Kate during an interview before tonight’s awards, saying: ‘She’s doing really well thanks. And hopefully she is watching tonight.

That visit on October 10 was her first joint public appearance alongside her husband since her cancer treatment ended, marking a major milestone in her gradual journey back to public duties.
Kate delivered a bombshell video message in March revealing she was undergoing chemotherapy after post-operative tests following major abdominal surgery showed she had cancer.
Well-wishes flooded in from around the world and King Charles III – who has also had treatment for cancer following his own diagnosis – was said to be ‘so proud’ of his ‘beloved daughter-in-law’ for her courage in speaking out.
In June, Kate made a welcome brief return to the royal frontline at Trooping the Colour, after saying in an update that she has ‘good days and bad days’, but was ‘not out of the woods yet’.

Kate also presented the men’s trophy on a day out to Wimbledon with Princess Charlotte in July, which saw her given a standing ovation from the crowd.
The Princess announced she had finished her chemotherapy course in a heartfelt video in September, in which she spoke about her experience while footage played of the Waleses and their children enjoying time together outdoors.
She said she was entering ‘this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life’.
‘The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,’ she said.
She added: ‘Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long.’
