The Waleses’ trip will have been slightly different and less action-packed than usual as Kate focuses on getting her strength back.
And as she considers the prospect of Prince William returning to his royal duties with a busy series of engagements in King Charles’ absence, she could be forgiven for feeling anxious. At this stressful time, it’s crucial that Kate surrounds herself with people she can rely on as she works towards her re-emergence into the spotlight.
Thankfully, her closest friends have formed a strong circle of trust around her as speculation surrounding her health and recovery continues.
These are the women who Kate can always rely on to keep her secrets and help her deal with any worries she may have ahead of her scheduled return to public life at Easter. Loyal friends, including Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Sophie Snuggs, Lady Laura Meade and Natasha Archer will no doubt be there to lend practical and emotional support, showing they are amongst the women in Kate’s life who are helping her through this difficult time.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond tells OK!: “I’m sure these old friends would know exactly how to keep Kate’s spirits up after such major surgery. "They have probably pampered her with fabulous gifts of luxurious spa products and hampers of delicious goodies to tempt her tastebuds.

Kate first began publishing pictures of the youngsters in 2014, and has since made a habit of releasing images on birthdays and occasions like first days at school, changing the way in which the royal family present their lives to the outside world.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are all students at Lambrook School in Windsor which is located just a stone's throw away from the family's home at Adelaide Cottage. Lambrook - which caters to students from the age of three to 13 - charges an increasing annual fee as the children go through the school, meaning that the three Wales children's education will cost an approximate £62,979 a year.The school's ethos is all about being kind to one another, as well as having courage and integrity - something which will certainly serve the three royals well as they grow older.
