Last week, the Princess of Wales confirmed that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment in a moving video that featured members of her family.

Just a week after the video was released, it was confirmed that the hard-working royal had already returned to her duties. The Court Circular confirmed on Tuesday that Kate had held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle.

Kate's meeting was her first meeting in the Court Circular since the royal started her cancer treatment at the start of the year.

The Court Circular also confirmed that the Prince of Wales had been undertaking royal duties on Tuesday, with William carrying out a private visit to 22 Special Air Service Regiment where he met individuals who had been deployed on recent operations.

At the start of the year, it was announced that the Princess of Wales would be undergoing abdominal surgery and that she wasn't expected to return to public duties until Easter. However, on 22 March, the royal confirmed that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy. 

The royal made a handful of public appearances during her treatment, joining the royal family as they celebrated Trooping the Colour in June. The royal was joined by her husband and three children at the event.
