Catherine’s return to duties

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

Catherine has returned to her public duties and has visited the Royal Marsden hospital today to “show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also highlight the world-leading care and treatment the Marsden provides".

It has been revealed that she attended her chemotherapy appointments at Royal Marsden. She thanked staff and visited patients for approximately an hour. It’s also been released that she will join William in becoming a royal patron of the hospital.

Love the colour not sure about the hat though.

Catherine looks so elegant and William is clearly delighted to have her by his side.

Kate looks great in that coat. Last time she wore it, she paired it with a hideous hat, this one was better.

Good to both Catherine and Charles looking well at the Commonwealth service.

It's nice to see her attending but I think she looks quite gaunt actually. I know she's always been very slim but she looks to have lost a little more weight which is not surprising considering everything she has gone through. I'd like to see her put her feet up for the summer and give herself some extra time to fully recuperate .

Off topic, and I don't know how to post photos, but the Duchess of Gloucester looked lovely at the Commonwealth service.

If she does, the Royal family thread will be innodated by posters calling her lazy and far worse.

The survey questions were designed to get that outcome. It asked people what age range is the most important for children's development. The most common response after 0-5, was all ages are important. That answer is very different from alleging those parents do not understand the importance of early years.

Don't like the necklace with that neckline-they're fighting a bit. One or 'tother. IMO.

lovely photos. she does look very thin though.

she always has

Not sure where you live but where I live, children being 'raised' in chaotic households is common, where drawing, baking, playing with your children is pretty much non existent. Many have no idea of the importance of the first 5 years, not a clue about the importance of interacting with their children, teeth brushing, eating fruit and veg. Many don't feed or bathe or dress their children properly. The notion of reading their child a bedtime story would never cross their minds.

I know you're against the initiative because of Catherine's involvement, but surely you can understand any focus has to be welcomed.

@Reetpetitenot Of course they know much of that is important. They just have no idea how to achieve it or are so overwhelmed with just getting through each day.
Its like we know that not drinking too much alcohol and eating healthy is good for us, but many of us find it too difficult to do.
We know the barriers, there has been lots of research on this, but tackling it is political and so the Royal Family will not touch it. That is why Catherine is forced to issue obvious research. She should never have focused on young kids. She needed a cause where she could make a real difference without being political.

You obviously have absolutely no idea.

lol, her and her husband have done nothing but "put their feet up" for years

I'd like to see her put her feet up for the summer and give herself some extra time to fully recuperate.

I think Kate looks the picture of health. Not too thin at all.

I also think she’s been lucky enough to have the cancer experience every sufferer deserves but few get. No ‘working’, maximum resting, the best treatment and undoubtedly, diet. I’m not sure she needs to put her feet up for months on end if she’s recovered, she’s hardly doing lots of engagements.

She always takes every summer off!

I like Kate but she's never been known for her work ethic.

Catherine and William at Principality Stadium, Cardiff watching the England vs Wales Six Nation’s match. Catherine is supporting England, whilst William is supporting Wales.

That's what they do... 🤷‍♀️ The queen would take pretty much all of it off.

I’d love to chop 5 inches off Kate’s hair. Or preferably, get a hairdresser to do it 😬

Before the match, they met injured players supported by Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust in the Sir Tasker Watkins Suite.

She usually goes in for theme dressing (at least with colour). So I'm a bit surprised by the colour but I think she looks well and happy.

What a match! I follow rugby a lot. Lucky her! Watched Italy v England at Twickers last weekend... we were hours and hours making it home and my god the price of the tickets 🫨🫨🫨

How can you say‘What a match’. Poor Wales were massacred.

I'm from England so understandable I would say that surely? And last Sunday against Italy, the atmosphere was fab.
Poor Wales my arse!

Well done England !

They played brilliantly whatever happens with France.
