After nearly six months, Princess Catherine is finally showing signs of a remarkable recovery. Princess Catherine’s troubles took the nation by surprise and, despite the challenging period, royal aides have insisted that when she resumes her full-time public duties, she will pick up where she left off. However, a worrying detail has emerged in a new and tangible account of Princess Catherine and her family. This year, the release from the Duchy of Cornwall includes a fascinating revelation from Alistair Marton, the outgoing secretary and Keeper of Records.

Prince William conducting all his official communications via his phone represents a generational shift but also represents an increasingly difficult risk for the royal family. As these incidents accumulate, it is clear that their digital lives now pose a significant challenge. Furthermore, their technological prowess, or lack thereof, was shamefully highlighted after the princess’s poor skills were revealed when a doctored image she had edited was rejected by major photo agencies.

After months away from the public eye, the royal mother of three made a notable return to the spotlight at Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon. She appeared radiant and fresh, and it was great to see her looking so relaxed. Many observers were no doubt comforted by her happiness, as she is a beacon of hope for many. However, this also comes with considerable pressure. On the plus side, she has the benefit of a support team, unlike most people who do not have such resources.

However, her presence can lift the spirits of those around her. Medical experts have said her proactive approach to self-care and her generally healthy lifestyle were key factors in her positive response. In her latest statement, she hinted at future plans. Catherine has also shared insights into the more difficult aspects of her recovery. This summer, she joined the royal family at Balmoral, marking a major milestone in her journey to health.

The mother of three will begin the long journey from Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to Balmoral Castle, where the King will host his family for the second time in his reign. The idyllic Scottish Highlands setting provides the perfect getaway for the royal children, with plenty of green space, horse riding, fishing, barbecues, picnics and plenty of sunshine. It's no surprise that the royals love to take their children to Balmoral Castle in late summer before returning to royal duties and school in September.
