PRINCESS Kate has been spotted attending church today with Prince William and Prince George.
The royal, 42, made her first public appearance in over a month as she stepped out with her family for the Sunday service at Crathie Church, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Kate donned a light brown outfit paired with a pheasant feather hat, while William opted for a sophisticated navy suit.
The couple appeared relaxed as they joined fellow members of the Royal Family for the service.
The Waleses last appeared together in a video earlier this month to celebrate the GB team ahead of the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony.
In the video, understood to be filmed at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate, Kate said: “From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB.”
William, wearing a Team GB shirt and sporting a beard, added: “Well done with all you’ve achieved. You’ve been an inspiration to us all.”
King Charles and Queen Camilla were also snapped smiling together in their car today.
The monarch sported a traditional Scottish kilt, as Camila showcased some red and green tartan to match.
Prince Edward was photographed too, driving Tim Lawrence, James Wessex and Sophie Wessex to the venue.
It comes after Kate announced her cancer diagnosis via a video message in March and has since remained largely out of the public arena amid treatment.
The royal has attended two public events since revealing her health battles.
She glowed at Trooping the Colour in June as royal fans erupted into cheer upon her arrival.
And, the Princess was met with a standing ovation at the Wimbledon men’s final the following month.
Meanwhile, the family have just returned from their summer getaway in Balmoral.
It was confirmed Kate would be attending the annual trip, and it would have been her longest journey away since her cancer diagnosis.
Following her recent appearances, a royal expert claimed the Princess could “pull on her reserves” return to work as early as next month.

Mr Dampier said: “It’s very good sign that we’ve seen Kate twice in recent weeks, first of all at Trooping the Colour and then at Wimbledon so clearly she’s a lot better.
“It indicates that she is clearly on the mend, and hopefully she’ll be back in action in a month or so, in the autumn.
“You know we can expect to see her start to gradually, slowly do some public engagements, but, as I said earlier, it will totally depend on the on the medical advice.”
I think Kate has has got a sort of inner core of steel. She’s quite a sort of steely character, and I think she’s a bit reminds me a little bit of late, Prince Philip,” continued the expert.
“I think she’s got a sort of inner strength and I think she’s very much pulled on those reserves and I think that of the two she’s probably the stronger character, even though she’s the one who’s got the got the illness, in many ways she will be the stronger of the two in getting through it, and mainly, of course, she wants to be strong for her children.”
