The Princess of Wales could make her next public appearance at the National Service of Remembrance on 10 November. A new report published by The Sunday Times states that Kate, 42, hopes to join King Charles and the rest of the royal family at the Cenotaph in Whitehall.

On Monday afternoon, the Princess confirmed she has completed the course of preventative chemotherapy in an intimate and moving video message

In a personal update Kate opened up about her experience, saying it has been "incredibly tough" for her family and they "have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown".

It has also been suggested that the Princess will attend her annual Together at Christmas concert, which is typically televised from Westminster Abbey in December. 

While Kate is not expected to join her husband, Prince William at this year's Earthshot Prize awards in November, it's understood that the mum-of-three has continued to work from home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, and is holding regular meetings.

Over the summer, the royal enjoyed a break with her husband and three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. During the summer holidays, the Wales family were primarily based at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, close to the Sandringham estate.

The family of five was spotted playing with Nerf guns at Bear Grylls' Gone Wild Festival at Holkham Hall in August. 

In keeping with tradition, the family then travelled to Scotland at the end of the month, where they joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at Balmoral. Marking one of her most recent public sightings, on August 25 Kate was pictured arriving at Crathie Kirk church for the Sunday service.

Dressed for the cold weather, the Princess stepped out in a brown checked trench coat from Holland Cooper and a Hicks & Brown feathered hat. Prince William and Prince George joined her. 

Now that the summer holidays have ended, Kate and William's children have recommenced their studies at Lambrook School.
