After a fun-filled summer spent between Balmoral, Norfolk and the Caribbean, it was back to work today for the Duchess of Cambridge.
The mum-of-three undertook a surprise visit to a festival in Wisley, to mark the official opening of her Back to Nature garden.
The project was originally displayed at at the Chelsea Flower Show back in May, and it was later also open to visitors at Hampton Court Palace.
As well as the original features, the new and improved version of Catherine’s garden includes two new connected tree houses for children and families to play in, according to royal reporter Omid Scobie.
