Catherine, Princess of Wales visited a wellbeing garden at Colchester Hospital on Wednesday, marking her first public appearance since she unexpectedly dropped out of an appearance at Royal Ascot two weeks ago.

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has shared a rare insight into the "life-changing" challenges of cancer treatment recovery.

She shared that patients recovering from cancer "put on a sort of brave face" and tend to show "stoicism" but "the phase afterwards is really, you know, difficult".
