Princess Catherine has reportedly been sighted “out and about” with her family amid her ongoing hiatus from public duties while undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
‘To Di For’ podcast host Kinsey Schofield has compared Princess Kate’s latest portrait to the time US President Joe Biden allegedly broke wind during a conversation with Queen Consort Camilla at the COP26 summit.
The portrait painted by British-Zambian artist Hannah Uzor was revealed on the cover of Tatler magazine’s July issue just one week after a portrait of King Charles III was unveiled at Buckingham Palace.
“That is stink face,” Ms Schofield told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“It looks like President Joe Biden crop-dusted poor Kate in COP26 like he did poor Camilia.”
British tabloid the Daily Mail confirmed on Monday the Princess “has been out and about with her family in recent weeks” in the latest sign the royal’s life may be returning to normal following her health setback.
Kate confirmed her cancer diagnosis in an emotional video message in March and revealed she had started “preventative chemotherapy”, which prompted a global outpouring of support for the Princess of Wales.
The cancer cells were discovered while the Princess was undergoing an unrelated abdominal surgery in January at The Clinic, coincidentally the same hospital where King Charles discovered he also had cancer.
Amid her treatment, the Princess is understood to be residing between the Wales’ family home, Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate and the family’s country home Anmer Home in rural Norfolk.
Kate, 42, remains on an indefinite hiatus from public life while undergoing treatment but last week a Kensington Palace staffer confirmed the Princess is still being periodically updated on her most important royal causes.
Prior to her cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales championed early childhood development as one of her major causes and commissioned a report to assess how prioritising childhood development can help the British economy.
Last week, a Kensington Palace spokesperson said early childhood continues to be a “huge priority” for Kate, who has been kept fully updated on the progress of the report during her recovery.
“I know, having briefed The Princess on this, that she is enormously grateful to the members of the Taskforce who have made such fantastic progress on this work over the past year,” Christian Guy, Executive Director of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood revealed to the Express newspaper on Monday.

Despite confirming Kate was briefed on the report, Mr Guy stressed to the outlet the report is not an indication that Kate is returning to royal duties as she will only resume her work when she is cleared by her doctors.
The major update comes after Kensington Palace revealed that staffers were struggling to reply to tens of thousands of letters to the Princess that have flooded in following Kate’s announcement.
The Prince of Wales has periodically thanked members of the public for their well wishes and recently told a Surrey charity worker his wife is “doing well” amid her treatment.
