Princess Kate is set to issue a major health update today.
The Princess of Wales has not been seen in public for nearly a month after making her long-awaited return at Trooping the Colour on June 15.
Prior to her appearance in June, Kate released a statement confirming that she would be attending the King's Birthday Parade.
Kate was diagnosed with cancer this year and has stepped back from all royal duties as she focuses on her health.

The Princess of Wales's attendance at Trooping the Colour marked her first public appearance in six months and the only engagement she has undertaken following her cancer diagnosis.
However, royal sources indicated at the time that the princess hoped to be present at two or three additional engagements this summer.
Kate normally presents the trophies to the men's and women's singles winners at the tennis tournament and this had been pinpointed as a potential next appearance for the Princess of Wales.
The Royal Family is scrambling to select an alternative member of the Royal Family to present the trophies in Kate's place if she is unable to undertake the engagement.
Prince William has been ruled out due to a diary clash as the royal will watch England take on Spain in the Euro 2024 in Germany on Sunday, the same day as the Wimbledon men's singles final.

Wimbledon and Kensington Palace will provide a major update on Kate's health today by confirming whether she will be at the tennis competition today.
Barbora KrejÄŤĂková and Jasmine Paolini will face off in the Wimbledon women's singles final this afternoon.
Last year, the royal presented the Wimbledon trophy to Markéta Vondrousova after she beat Ons Jabeur in straight sets to win her first Wimbledon title.
However, Kate's appearance is dependent on how she is feeling and the advice she receives from her doctors.
Last month, the princess opened up about her chemotherapy treatment and how it is affecting her in a statement.

Kate said: "As anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.
"On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well."
Despite this the Princess of Wales has made her feelings clear regarding the potential upcoming appearance, an insider has claimed.
A source told The Daily Beast that Kate would "dearly love" to attend Wimbledon at the weekend and present the trophies to the winners.
