The Duchess of Cambridge is preparing to return to official engagements next month after recovering from a three-week bout of acute morning sickness, according to royal aides.
A spokesman told The Mail on Sunday: 'There will be engagements in October and November. We just haven't announced them yet.' The Duchess has been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, the same condition she experienced during her pregnancy with Prince George. While she has not been hospitalised this time, she has received medical assistance at Kensington Palace.
Her last official engagement was on August 5, when she opened a poppy installation at the Tower of London with Prince William and Prince Harry. Over the summer, she attended First World War centenary commemorations in Belgium and was in Yorkshire for the start of the Tour de France. However, she has not carried out a charitable engagement since July, when she visited a North London school for one of her M-Pact projects.
Last weekend, the Duchess was forced to pull out of a tour of Malta on behalf of the Queen, leaving Prince William to stand in. She was also due to join him at an engagement in Oxford three weeks ago but was too ill, prompting the Palace to announce her pregnancy prematurely.
Now that she is feeling better, the couple are expected to move into their new ten-bedroom Georgian home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk. A source said: 'While they will be predominantly living in Norfolk, the intention is for Kate to hop between London and Norfolk while looking after Prince George.'
