Kate ‘out and about’ again as she receives of letters from well wishers – latest

The Princess of Wales has been inundated with ‘tens of thousands’ of get-well-soon cards after her cancer diagnosis was revealed, palace officials say.

The palace’s correspondence team is now said to have been ‘so touched’ by the outpouring of love for Kate that was shown after she told the world about her health concerns in March.

The Mail Online said the Court Post Office – which deals with letters to the royal family – has experienced a much higher level of letters sent to her since March.

The Princess of Wales has reportedly been ‘out and about’ more with her family in recent weeks as she continues to undergo cancer treatment.

Kate, 42, has kept a low profile since she received her diagnosis in January and has not carried out any official royal duties this year.

The Mail Online has reported that while she has been venturing out once more, the palace has stressed that she still needs time and space to recover.

William and Kate are reportedly uneasy over the growing closeness between Harry and Meghan and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Royal author Tom Quinn was quoted as saying by The Mirror: “For William and Kate an alliance between Harry and Meghan and Beatrice and Eugenie is a huge worry.”

He said: “Although Harry and Meghan have little sympathy for Prince Andrew, they’ve kept in regular contact with Beatrice and Eugenie who have always been free of any associations with Meghan’s angry, bitter time in the UK.”

From Prince William to Prince Harry, here is everyone in line to be the next king or queen of Great Britain:

The 35-year-old paid tribute to Sarah Ferguson, describing how she “grew up with an incredible mum” and reflecting on the importance of storytelling for young people as she met children at West Thornton Primary School in Croydon.

The duchess has written books for children such as the Budgie the Little Helicopter series.

Beatrice, the royal patron for the Oscar’s Book Prize, read When Dinosaurs Walked The Earth by Sean Taylor and illustrated by Zehra Hicks, which topped this year’s shortlist.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Foundation is no longer listed as “delinquent” by California’s Registry of Charities and Fundraisers.

On Monday the charity was listed as “delinquent” and a delinquency notice letter was sent to the foundation on May 3 for “failing to submit required annual report(s) and/or renewal fees”, but on Tuesday the status of Archewell Foundation had been changed to “current”.

The letter had warned that an organisation listed as delinquent is banned from “soliciting or disbursing charitable funds” and “its registration may be suspended or revoked by the registry”.

On Tuesday, a statement from California’s Department of Justice said the Archewell Foundation is “current and in good standing”.

A spokesperson for California’s Department of Justice said: “After being in touch with our Registry of Charities and Fundraisers, the organisation is current and in good standing.”

King Charles is set to have a sapling from the Sycamore Gap Tree planted in a royal park, eight months after the iconic tree was felled.

On Monday, the monarch was presented with the first seedling grown from seeds collected from the tree – which stood next to Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland for 200 years – when it was cut down in September.

Once the seedling has matured into a sapling, Charles will have it planted in Windsor Great Park for visitors to enjoy as a symbol of the hope and beauty that can come from loss, the National Trust said.

Royal family fans were delighted by a “beautiful” gesture from Prince William to Princess Kate after her speech on World Mental Health Day.

In a viral video clip, William applauded Kate and then politely pulled out a chair for her. The moment touched many, the outlet reported, amassing hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok, with fans praising William for his gesture.

One commentator noted: “Of course he does. He’s a gentleman,” according to The Mirror.

Another person added: “His mom would be so proud” and a third person said: “So beautiful.”

One social media user said: “They are so adorable.”

Another woman wrote in the comments: “These two are very connected to each other. I love how he puts his hand on her waist in crowds like ‘I’m here, I’ve got you!’”

The clothing brand, co-founded by the uber-cool Susie Cave, helped define a look of idiosyncratic but always immaculately well-constructed British glamour. Its sudden closure, writes Olivia Petter, is a devastating reflection of a fashion industry in peril:

Kate, 41, did so on Mental Health Awareness Week in a joint post with the Prince of Wales highlighting the psychological struggles young farmers can face.

The couple wrote on X (Twitter) via the Kensington Royal account: “This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we’ve brought together the inspirational Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and the brilliant Farmer Will for a very special film.

“Spending a day together on Sam’s farm in Hereford they chatted about mental health in the farming community, finding support and the Duchy of Cornwall’s Mental Health Strategy.”
