"While I am confident that she will continue to prioritise motherhood, we can look forward to her becoming a much bigger part of the royal agenda."
The princess was previously criticised for only completing 123 engagements last year.
This was less than the Duke of Gloucester, aged 79, who carried out a whopping 172 engagements in 2023.
