Catherine, Princess of Wales visited a wellbeing garden at Colchester Hospital on Wednesday, marking her first public appearance since she unexpectedly dropped out of an appearance at Royal Ascot two weeks ago.

According to Rebecca English it’s a firm reminder that the 43-year-old is still in recovery and she was likely far sicker than she let on last year when she underwent abdominal surgery in January before announcing in March that she had cancer, the nature of which she has not publicly revealed.
