She held her first official meeting in more than nine months, where she hosted a chat with senior officials who work with Kate’s Early Years’ initiative.

The princess revealed she had completed her treatment last month, and admitted she hopes to appear at a handful of engagements before the end of the year.

The official Court Circular, which lists all royal engagements, read: “The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron, The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, this afternoon held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle.”

There were no photos of the meeting but it is understood she was joined by members of her household team and representatives from the The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
