The 42-year-old wife of Prince William is expected to undertake a light program of engagements until the end of the year.

In a video message, Catherine said she would return to more of her duties, a positive development, but many questions remain about her condition and treatment.

Catherine is believed to have started carrying out some work from home, but this is "the first official meeting to appear under her name in 2024", said The Times. Health permitting, Catherine "will attend more meetings to assess the progress of her projects with the royal foundation".
