Princess Kate arrives with Wills to greet Qatar’s Royal Family in her latest return to work after cancer treatment ended
PRINCESS Kate has greeted Qatar's Royal Family alongside Prince William in her latest return to work after her cancer treatment ended.
Kate was snapped beaming with doting husband Wills by her side as they welcomed Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and his wife Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al-Thanithe for a two-day state visit.
But she will not be at the lavish State Banquet tonight, as she saves energy for her heartwarming Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on Friday.
Kate donned an entire burgundy outfit - matching a hat, long coat, boots and clutch bag.
William's burgundy-coloured tie was also paired with the Amir's, while his wife went for a smart beige floor-length coat.
Once the Amir and Sheikha Jawaher have been greeted at Wills and Kate's residence, they will then head to Horse Guards Parade for a ceremonial welcome with The King.

Kate will then join for a private lunch at Buckingham Palace and take a tour of priceless Qatari art on exhibition.
She will not be attending the lavish State Banquet tonight, where speeches will be made by the King and the Amir.
Later this week on Friday, the Princess of Wales will hold her Together At Christmas concert in Westminster Abbey.
She will attend with Prince William, their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and other members of the royal family.
Palace aides have said the service will “provide a moment to reflect upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives”.
It is expected to be extra special and poignant given Kate’s own struggles this year with cancer.
