"If you remember, very soon after her preventative chemotherapy, the guidance we were getting was that we wouldn't really find out if the princess would be doing an engagement until the day itself," he said.
"But the fact that they gave us notice suggests that she is very much on the road to recovery," Walker added.
Noting the Princess's nod to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Cameron revealed details of the royal's chosen outfit for the occasion.
He explained: "The Princess wore a coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and a hat by Sahar Millinery.
Kate and William accompanied the visitors to Horse Guards Parade for the ceremonial welcome, where the King formally greeted the Qatari leaders at the Royal Pavilion.PA"Her Royal Highness also wore jewellery which used to belong to the late Queen Elizabeth II, so quite poignant for Her Royal Highness."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Despite her attendance at the ceremonial welcome, the Princess will not participate in Tuesday evening's state banquet at Buckingham Palace.
Her schedule remains carefully managed, with Walker noting she will only attend the morning ceremonial events, procession, private lunch and viewing of pictures.
The Princess is set to host her fourth annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on Friday.
Cameron said: "The Princess has a very busy week ahead, she'll be hosting her Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on Friday.
