Princess Kate makes a notable appearance, marking her return after an unexpected absence form Royal Ascot two weeks ago.
The Princess of Wales absence from the event sparked concern, making many to speculate that the reason behind her skipping the event would be health related.
Palace insiders quickly cleared up any rumours, saying the situation was caused by a scheduling mix-up and was not a health problem, per GB News.
After controversy arose over her absence, Kate visited the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital, aiming to spotlight the healing power of nature.
The engagement focused on raising awareness about the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of spending time outdoors.
Her appearance is notable following her withdrawal from the renowned racing event, where she had originally been listed in the official carriage procession-a listing later removed due to what was described as an administrative oversight.
The visit to Colchester reflects her ongoing commitment to wellbeing projects and signals her gradual return to royal duties.
During her time at the hospital, the Princess also visited the Cancer Wellbeing Centre, where she engaged with patients and staff to learn how therapeutic gardens within healthcare facilities can boost recovery, promote wellness, and help prevent illness.
