Over the weekend, Kate Middleton made a return to royal duties for Remembrance Day following the end of her chemotherapy treatment. The Princess of Wales' return to the public eye for two back-to-back appearances delighted royal fans – and now royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith has told People the royal is "coming back" on her own terms.

Catherine, Princess of Wales joined the royal family as they paid their respects to all those who have lost their lives in conflicts at the annual Remembrance Day service in London on Sunday.

The Princess of Wales has taken a significant step in her gradual return to public royal duties by attending the Festival of Remembrance. Joined by the Prince of Wales and King Charles, her presence at the Royal British Legion event comes after William spoke candidly of how 2024 has been “brutal” and “probably the hardest year in my life”.
