Princess Kate appears to be struggling to recover from a hand injury she suffered trampolining in September.

The Princess of Wales arrived at SportAid's mental fitness workshop alongside her husband Prince William today.


However, Kate's two injured fingers were seen wrapped in a bandage.

On September 12, a Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed Kate had suffered "a small injury, nothing serious".

The Princess of Wales suffered the injury at her Windsor home, while playing with her three children on the trampoline.

Last week, The Princess of Wales met with Disability Rugby League players at the Allam Sports Centre.

Princess Kate also joined a training session facilitated by members of the world cup winning England Wheelchair Rugby League squad during Rugby League Inclusivity Day.

The hand injury did not stop the royal from getting stuck in as she scored a try during the match.

In September, during a royal engagement the Princess of Wales declined to put on a glove due to the injury.

She said: "I can’t even put that on because I’ve got two fingers stuck together."

On Tuesday, Princess Kate and Prince William attended a Factory Works in Birmingham on World Mental Health Day.

The Princess of Wales also made a poignant speech to mark the occasion.

During Kate's speech, she said: "Back in 2016, we launched Heads Together, a campaign supported by so many wonderful partners, that helped break the stigma around mental health, and encouraged more people to have everyday conversations about it.

"Alongside the efforts of many others, we have seen real change. Today, more people feel empowered to talk about their mental health than ever before. This is a major step forward.

"William and I continue to be inspired to see young people, like you all here today, leading this charge – being particularly brave in having some of those conversations yourselves.

"As a generation, you value and talk more about your mental health than any before you – something we truly admire and applaud."
