She has been seen driving from her home in Windsor to collect her kids from Lambrook school, near Ascot.
The schoolwelcomed the three Cambridge children, George, aged nine, Charlotte, seven and Louis, four, for their first day this morning.
However, what should have been a pleasant day for the Cambridges has taken a dark turn as the Queen has been placed under medical supervision in Balmoral, with many members of the royal family rushing to Scotland to be with her.
Those who made the journey on an RAF jet include theDuke of Cambridge, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, The Duke of York and The Earl and Countess of Wessex.
