Exactly one year ago today we were all relieved to hear the news that the Princess of Wales was in remission from cancer.

After visiting the Royal Marsden in London, where she received treatment, Kate said in a personal message: "I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year. 

"My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything. We couldn’t have asked for more. 

"The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional."

Sharing an update on her recovery, the Princess signed off by saying: "It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal.  

"I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support."

The Duchess of Edinburgh visited England Hockey at their training ground at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre earlier this week, and our Fashion & Beauty News Editor, Laura Sutcliffe, has spotted that Sophie was wearing a familiar accessory!

According to the Court Circular, the King held a reception for Aberdeenshire "Sma Wids" (Small Woods) Project at Balmoral on Tuesday evening. 

The project, inspired by His Majesty, aims to boost the biodiversity of the agricultural landscape in Aberdeenshire by helping landowners to create valuable, small new woodland assets on underutilised areas of land with minimal fuss and maximum support. 

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could soon move out of Royal Lodge, according to the latest movements. 

The King's brother was ousted from the 30-room mansion after being stripped of his titles in October, following a string of scandals.

Tradespeople have been spotted constructing a new security fence around the perimeter of Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where Andrew is expected to relocate to in the coming weeks. 

Jewellery brand Calleija  has just announced its collaboration with Zara Tindall, posting an exquisite photo shoot of the equestrian wearing an array of pieces from the eponymous 'Zara Tindall Collection'. 

In the video, Zara can be seen artfully posing and looking as gorgeous as ever, wearing a crisp white shirt, with just her gold jewellery on show. 

And our Fashion & Beauty News Editor, Laura Sutcliffe, shares why Zara's look is reminiscent of her late aunt, Diana, Princess of Wales.
