Kate Middleton made a second appearance this weekend since announcing she had completed preventative chemotherapy for cancer, as she continues her return to royal duties.
On Sunday, The Princess of Wales stood on the balcony above the Cenotaph war memorial in London as part of the country’s National Service of Remembrance.
Middleton has never missed the service since she married Prince William in 2011.
The 42-year-old stood alongside Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, as she observed King Charles III and Prince William laying wreaths in tribute to those who lost their lives in military service.
