Britain's Princess of Wales has taken a first step towards returning to her work on the early-years development of children, a week after announcing she had completed chemotherapy.The issue of childrens' early development has been described as mother-of-three Catherine's life's work by aides.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has said she has completed her chemotherapy and is “doing what I can to stay cancer free,” as she plans to return gradually to public life in the coming months.

Catherine, Princess of Wales announced Monday that she was cancer-free but on a long road to "full recovery", in a highly emotional video message following a shock cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

In a video message, Catherine said she would return to more of her duties, a positive development, but many questions remain about her condition and treatment.

Princess Kate returned to light royal duties on Tuesday, in her first work engagement since announcing she had ended her cancer treatment last week.

After a long saga away, The Princess of Wales has carried out her first official work meeting since she began cancer treatment earlier this year. The royal family are now looking fuller.
