The former butler added: "There aren’t many occasions through the rest of the year, other than the Diplomatic Reception of Buckingham Palace, which is the biggest night of the year for the royals, where every room of Buckingham Palace is used and every diplomat in London attends."

Speaking on behalf of Slingo , Paul said the Diplomatic Reception of Buckingham Palace "is a very big night". He added that Kate "may appear at that, but there aren't many other occasions that she will."

Kate held her first meeting at Windsor Castle. In the official Court Circular of engagements undertaken by working royals, an entry read: "The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron, The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, this afternoon held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle."
