Princess of Wales resumes duties with private Windsor meeting
Kate resumes duties post-cancer with Windsor Castle meeting
The Princess of Wales resumed her duties with a private meeting at Windsor Castle, as noted in the court circular. The entry from Tuesday states, “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.”
The court circular records the engagements of the Royal Family, both public and private. There were no pictures or specific details released about the meeting. Last week, it was announced that the princess would begin working behind the scenes following her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
In a personal video, the princess revealed she had completed her preventative chemotherapy and expressed her focus on remaining cancer-free. She said, “Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes. I am, however, looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”

Members of Kate’s team from the royal household and representatives from the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood attended Tuesday’s meeting. The princess has long emphasized the importance of supporting children aged zero to five and their parents through her charitable work.
Her last private meeting at Windsor Castle for the Royal Foundation was on 6 December 2023. This year’s court circular also lists her attendance at Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon.
The palace suggested last week that the princess will likely return to “light duties” for now, with a few public engagements before the year’s end. It is anticipated that Kate will join other Royal Family members at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday in November, scheduling engagements as she feels able.
On Tuesday, Prince William also had a private engagement, visiting members of the SAS. The court circular entry reads, “The Prince of Wales carried out a private visit to 22 Special Air Service Regiment, to meet individuals who have been deployed on recent operations.” The palace typically does not disclose details of such visits due to their confidential nature.
