Catherine and her husband, Prince William - who have children Princes George and Louis, 10 and five, and Princess Charlotte, eight, together - have expressed their thanks to the team who looked after the princess during her hospital stay, as well as to well-wishers who have sent kind messages over the last few weeks.

It was announced on 17 January that Catherine was receiving medical treatment and is not expected to return to public duties until after Easter.
A statement at the time read: "Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery.
