Speaking about Kate, Royal expert Jennie Bond tells the Mirror: “This is certainly a welcome milestone in Catherine’s journey to full recovery, and the King will be delighted. He undoubtedly trusts her implicitly to represent the Royal Family both at home and abroad.”

Jennie added: “She has a star quality that no other royal can bring to an occasion. And that’s a valuable asset for the monarchy.
