Alongside Prince Harry and Prince William, Kate was spotted cheering at a plethora of events including eventing, cycling and sailing.

The mother-of-three is currently enjoying the school summer holidays with her husband Prince William and their three children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine and six-year-old Prince Louis.

Aside from stepping out to attend Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, Kate has been keeping a low profile as she continues her treatment. The royal, who shared news of her diagnosis in March, shared a personal update in June ahead of her Trooping appearance.

Opening up, she shared how she is "making good progress" and that she has "good days and bad days".

She continued: "On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.

"My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.

She finished by adding: "I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.
