Kate Middleton’s back at work: Palace reveals what she’s been doing during her recovery
Kate Middleton has been working from home as she begins to ease back into ‘normal life’.
The Princess of Wales has been working on an early years project to improve the lives of babies as she recovers from her abdominal surgery.
The Princess’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood has backed a trial of a baby observation tool.
This will be used by health visitors to improve how they spot signs of social and emotional development of young children.
Kensington Palace said the results have so far been ‘overwhelmingly positive’.
They said Kate personally suggested the tool after seeing a similar system used in Denmark.
Kensington Palace said: ‘The Princess has been kept updated throughout the process.’
It comes as three London Clinic staff are placed under investigation for allegedly trying to access Kate’s medical files.
The chief executive of the clinic Al Russell said ‘all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken’.
The Princess of Wales has not attended any public engagements since Christmas Day.
Only one official, albeit photoshopped, picture of her has been released in that time.
But Kate was captured on video on a trip to a farm shop in Windsor last week.
But footage obtained by The Sun shows the Duchess of Cambridge visiting her favourite farm shop with her husband Prince William a mile from her home at Adelaide Cottage on Saturday.
The video, filmed by a shopper, showed Kate with her hair down and carrying shopping bags as the couple walked through a car park.
The newspaper quoted another customer who said: ‘After all the rumours that had been going round I was stunned to see them there.
‘Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well.
‘The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.’
