Kate's selfless motivation for leaving home for first time since surgery
It's been just two weeks since the Princess of Wales left hospital after undergoing abdominal surgery.
And in a sign her recovery is going well, Kate is believed to have left her Windsor home of Adelaide Cottage for the first time to continue her recovery elsewhere. Both she, Prince William and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are all said to have decamped to their country retreat of Anmer Hall in Norfolk. But what has prompted the change of scenery for Kate and the family so soon into her recovery? Well, it turns out it is her children's school holidays.
William and Kate with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis (PA Wire)The trio, who attended Lambrook School, are all on their half-term break this week - and the Wales family usually spend their holiday time at Anmer, which is near King Charles' Sandringham estate. A source told the Daily Mail: "Catherine is recovering well. She was looking forward to a change of scene and will be able to take it easy in Norfolk while the children let off steam with William."
When Kate was first admitted to hospital last month, William cleared his diary in order to care for his wife. However, last week he made his return to royal duties with two very different engagements. In the morning, he held an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle handing out a series of awards before attending a glamorous gala later that night in aid of the London Air Ambulance.
The outings marked William's first engagements since Kate had surgery on January 16 and after previously saying his return to work would be dependent on her care and recovery. It also came just days after it was revealed King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, with heir to the throne William expected to step in for his father for some events.

But despite getting back to work, the 41-year-old will not be carrying out more engagements this week as he spends time with his family in Norfolk. Also close by at Sandringham is the King and he may be able to spend time with William, Kate and his grandchildren during their week off school. Yesterday, the monarch attended church with Queen Camilla in his first public outing since the announcement of his cancer diagnosis.
Walking alongside Camilla and holding an umbrella, Charles arrived at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, on Sunday morning. The King was seen wearing a brown coat and waving to the public before being greeted by the Rev Canon Dr Paul Williams at about 10.50am.
The 75-year-old King was seen in public for the first time since his cancer diagnosis as he left Clarence House in a car on Tuesday, the day after starting his treatment, following a brief reunion with Prince Harry. Charles has postponed all public-facing duties but is continuing with behind-the-scenes work on his red boxes of state papers. On Saturday, the King thanked people for their "many messages of support and good wishes" and said it was "equally heartening" to hear how sharing his diagnosis has helped to promote public understanding of cancer.
In a message to the public, Charles said: "I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days. As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.
"It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organisations which support cancer patients and their families across the UK and wider world. My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience." The message was signed 'Charles R'.
