The British royal family's summer plans

The royals are expected to spend the majority of the summer at their country home Ammer Hall in Norfolk, England, as well as a stay with King Charles at Balmoral Castle.

An insider from the palace told People, "She doesn't need to be in the spotlight. Being with her family and just being herself will give her energy. This will give her enough time to focus on her recovery."

According to the insider, she's "not out of the woods yet," but she is slowly taking on more duties at the palace.

"It’s good not to feel under pressure and just take her time," adds another palace source.
