Today she will attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall where the Prince of Wales and King Charles will lay wreaths.
William revealed Kate aims to step up her royal engagements in 2025.
He said: “I think hopefully Catherine will be doing a bit more next year, so, we’ll have some more trips maybe lined up.”
Last night William affectionately put his arm around his wife as they emerged from their car outside the Royal Albert Hall.
The couple smiled and chatted warmly while taking their seats for the concert.
Royal fan Pauline Marshall, 81, of Kent, said: “Kate looks beautiful. It’s wonderful to see her looking so well and happy.”
Kate, in a black dress and coat, wore Princess Diana’s pearl drop earrings with diamond carrier, plus a matching necklace.
She was seen in the earrings at the Cenotaph ceremony in 2022.
Diana had been gifted them by jewellers Collingwood for her 1981 wedding to Charles.
Leading the royals at last night’s event, the King — who is also being treated for cancer — was in good spirits as he chatted to Armed Forces veterans.
Princess Anne attended with husband Sir Tim Laurence, while PM Sir Keir Starmer was there with wife Lady Victoria.
The Queen, 77, was absent as she battles a chest infection.
Earlier yesterday Buckingham Palace confirmed Camilla was staying at home to rest, but there was no cause for concern.
The Palace said: “Following doctors’ guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk, Her Majesty will not attend this weekend’s Remembrance events.”
Today will be the first time Kate, 42, has carried out official engagements on consecutive days since last December.
In January she spent 13 nights at The London Clinic for abdominal surgery.

Subsequent tests found cancer and she began preventative chemotherapy treatment in late February.
In September she told the world in a family video that she had finished chemo.
Last week William visited South Africa — his first foreign trip since Kate’s diagnosis.
Lifting the lid on his dad and wife’s cancer battles he has described the year as “brutal” and “dreadful”.
He and mum-of-three Kate cancelled a trip to Italy, and to see British troops in the Baltic.
Kate had aimed to time her return for the Remembrance services, plus her Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey.
Yesterday, the PM said: “This weekend we come together to honour those who laid down their lives to keep our country safe.
“The freedoms we enjoy today — our democracy, our values, our way of life — have been hard won over generations. We also think of those serving our country now.”
Nearly 10,000 people are expected to line Whitehall this morning to watch the Royal British Legion parade to the Cenotaph.
William following his mother’s lead
By Arthur Edwards
I AM delighted that Kate seems ready to go back on the road again.
Her appearance at the Cenotaph today is a sign that we will hopefully be seeing more of her next year. She is always a delight to work with.
Her husband, William, has also now outlined his future.
He is very much a modern-day man.
I think he is following the lead of his mother, Princess Diana, who broke the mould for how the royals did things.
I remember she held the hand of a leper in Nigeria and shook hands with HIV patients in hospital when everybody was nervous about the ‘plague’ sweeping the world at the time.
William watched Diana modernise the royals and he is continuing her work.
