KATE'S GREAT WORKING WEEK

The Princess Of Wales enjoyed a series of engagements to celebrate Britain's textiles industry and the WI - an anniversary tribute to the much-missed Elizabeth II

With the summer holidays now firmly over, the Princess of Wales is back to work with a bang. And it seems that the mother-of-three also has plenty on the horizon over the coming months, both at work and at home, as she continues to make a full-time return to public life.

Just last week, Kate made two solo visits celebrating the British textiles industry and accompanied Prince William to a Women's Institute meeting in Berkshire to remember the late Elizabeth II on the third anniversary of her death.

And the week ahead is set to be one of her most high-profile ones in months, with Kate, 43, playing a key role in US President Donald Trump's state visit to the UK, which will see the princess team up for an outing with the US First Lady, Melania Trump.

This, coupled with a house move to Forest Lodge, as well as several personal milestones in the coming months, means it will be a “time of change”, according to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, as Kate focuses on her next steps.

Jennie tells OK!, “With the children now back at school, there will be all sorts of activities and, no doubt, homework to keep the family busy.

“She and William will both be on duty for the state visit by President Trump. Then William has the Earthshot Prize in Brazil to attend, and Catherine is now probably deeply involved in planning for her Christmas carol concert. I’m sure there will also be other engagements to do with Shaping Us and early years development.
