It is also unknown whether the Princess will join King Charles as he welcomes Emmanuel Macron on a state visit to Britain from 8-10 July. The French President and the First Lady, Brigitte Macron, will be staying at Windsor Castle for the trip, where they will be honoured with a state banquet.

Last December, Kate welcomed the Emir of Qatar and his wife, Sheika Jawaher, to Horse Guards Parade, alongside Prince William and King Charles. The ceremonial welcome saw the Qatari royal couple introduced to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and a plethora of British dignitaries, before moving to the front of the Dais with His Majesty The King. The Guard of Honour then gave a royal salute, and the sound of the Qatari National Anthem rang out throughout the Mall. Both the Emir and the King then inspected the Guard, before an illustrious carriage procession brought the royals to Buckingham Palace for lunch.
