A Kensington Palace spokesman said whether she carried out her planned engagements would be decided on a “case by case” basis.

The following day she was expected to attend a solemn Drumhead service at Lee Valley Athletics Centre with the Duke and Harry, and later with William to watch Invictus competitors taking part in matches and heats.
