Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is all set to resume her royal duties as she is now recovering from three weeks of acute morning sickness that left her with no choice but cancel her long list of commitments.

Staff of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced her come back next month. The royals' spokesperson revealed on The Mail: "There will be engagements in October and November," although no specific details of her engagements have been announced yet.

The Duchess of Cambridge fell ill with hyperemesis gravidarum, the same condition that afflicted her during her pregnancy with Prince George. The Duchess of Kent was under doctor's eyes at Kensington Palace although her condition no longer necessitated a hospital stay.

The Duchess's last official engagement was on August 5, together with Princes William and Harry, when they launched the poppy installation at the Tower of London.

Prior to that, she was seen at the 100th anniversary commemoration of World War I in Belgium and also at the opening of the Tour de France in Yorkshire in July. However, the Duchess failed to carry out any charitable engagement since then.

The Duchess's condition also forced her to cancel her tour of Malta on behalf of the Queen, which should have been her first solo tour. Prince William stood in for her.

Kate should have also joined Prince William at an event in Oxford three weeks ago, but was too ill to make it. Kensington Palace eventually announced her pregnancy.

With her condition getting better, the couple is expected to move into their new ten-bedroom Georgian home, Anmer Hall, in the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

While the royal couple would be predominantly living in Norfolk, the Duchess would still be moving about London and Norfolk for official functions.
