The Duchess of Cambridge is back on maternity leave: When can we next expect to see her?

The Duchess of Cambridge was, without a doubt, one of the royal wedding guests the world was most excited to see.
Making her first appearance since giving birth to Prince Louis in April, the 36-year-old looked radiant in a Alexander McQueen look as she attended the nuptials of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
But soak it up Kate fans, because this might be the last time we get a glimpse of the mum-of-three until October.
“It is traditional for new royal mums to take a six-month break from official engagements,” royal biographer Duncan Larcombe explained Harper’s Bazaar.
“The wedding doesn’t count because it was a ‘family affair’ but other than that, she will pick and choose her engagements.
“If she wanted, Kate could disappear into the background until October!” Larcombe said.
However, don’t get too upset because if her other births are anything to go by, the Duchess won’t want to stay within the confines of Kensington Palace for long.
When Prince George was born on 22 July 2013, the Duchess was out by the 30th August.

Similarly, when Charlotte was born on 2 May 2015, Kate was already out for the annual Trooping of the Colour celebrations on 13th June.
And luckily for us, it’s thought that the Duchess will don another hat to join the family for the annual Trooping of the Colour this June in honour of the Queen’s birthday.
The mum-of-three will also be present at Louis’ christening. It’s thought the youngest royal will be christened some time this summer, as both George and Charlotte were christened three months after their births.
