Kate Middleton was spotted heading to a morning service at Crathie Kirk church in the Scottish village of Crathie, near the family’s Balmoral Estate, on Sunday amid her cancer treatment.
The Princess of Wales was accompanied by her husband, Prince William, and the couple’s oldest child, Prince George, 11, marking her first public appearance in over a month.
The royal couple’s youngest children, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, weren’t seen at the outing.

Kate, 42, opted for a plaid Holland Cooper coat paired with a matching brown felt feather hat and dangling gold earrings. Meanwhile, William, 42, wore a crisp navy suit. On the way to church, the pair continued to smile and chat.
The trio was joined by King Charles III — who is also battling cancer— and his wife, Queen Camilla. The king and queen were dressed in traditional Scottish tartan outfits, with the monarch donning a green and red kilt with a gray blazer.
Charles’ brother, Prince Edward, and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, made the church service alongside their son, James.
Earlier this month, Kate and William shared a video message from home following the end of the Paris Olympic Games.
The prerecorded footage showed the royal family members congratulating Great Britain’s athletes on their success in the games.
“From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB,” Kate said in the clip posted to the duo’s X and Instagram accounts Aug. 11.
A month prior, Kate stepped out at Wimbledon after spending most of 2024 out of the spotlight.
The royal has attended the tennis match almost every year since marrying William in 2011 and, thanks to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, has even been appointed to present prizes to the winners.

Princess Charlotte and Kate’s younger sister, Pippa Middleton, 40, were also in attendance.
The mom of three wore a bright purple dress, minimum jewelry and a beige handbag as she waved to the crowd.
According to People magazine, Kate’s appearance gave her “sustenance.”
“This will have given her sustenance,” a palace insider told the outlet. “She has gone through something awful and stressful, and it is crucial to have little wins to look forward to or to give you the courage and energy to go forward. And this was it.”
