Princess Kate is on the brink of a "soft return" as Kensington Palace is drawing up plans for her first public appearance.
The Princess of Wales has not undertaken any royal duties this year with her last engagement coming in December 2023.
Princess Kate underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024 and has been recovering over the last two months following the significant operation.
Kensington Palace indicated that Kate would not return to public duties until Easter during their statement confirming the surgery.
