Princess Kate holds secret meeting at Windsor as royals embroiled in Invictus Games row
The Princess of Wales has carried out her second royal engagement this week - but this one was not publicised.
Kate, the Princess of Wales, carried on her royal duties this week as she attended her second engagement of the week – though this one was kept under wraps.
According to the Court Circular, the royal held an Early Years meeting at Windsor Castle, while her brother-in-law Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle celebrated the Invictus Games with veterans in Germany.
On Tuesday, Kate visited HMP High Down in Surrey to learn about how The Forward Trust – which she is a patron of – is supporting those in the criminal justice system to manage and recover from their addictions.
The Princess is known for her pioneering work in early childcare, having launched her Shaping Us campaign at the start of the year.
It comes as senior royals have been accused of ignoring British Armed Forces veterans competing in the Invictus Games because of the family’s ongoing rift with Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle.

Athletes and veterans have expressed frustration that there has been little acknowledgement of the event, which is being held in Germany, from royals other than the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
A media strategist said that this perceived snub leaves the palace looking “mean-spirited and petty”.
The Royal Foundation, which was shared by Prince Harry at the time – invested significant amounts of money in the event.
The Invictus Games is one of the big projects that Prince Harry has continued since his departure from the royal family.
