The Princess of Wales may be recuperating at home, but she will no doubt be spoiled by her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, this weekend.
On Sunday, the royal - who is recovering from abdominal surgery - will be marking Mother's Day in the UK, and she could receive a gift with a very meaning from her children.

Millie Durbak, a spokesperson from Prestige Flowers, tells HELLO!: "As Mother's Day draws near, a thoughtful arrangement of hyacinths and woodland flowers would be a fitting gift for the Princess, embodying the love and warmth shared between her and her family.
"Hyacinths are known to represent steadfast love, while woodland flowers capture the allure of nature, mirroring Kate's refined taste."

The thoughtful gifts from the royal children will no doubt be put together under the supervision of her husband Prince William, who has been holding the fort at home.
Millie adds that Princess Kate's appreciation for these flowers goes beyond mere aesthetics, and holds a deeper meaning that resonates with her values.
"Her wedding bouquet, featuring lilies, hyacinths, ivy, and myrtle, symbolises heartfelt wishes for happiness and enduring love in her marriage to Prince William," she added. "The delicate selection of flowers in her wedding bouquet was carefully chosen to convey heartfelt sentiments for a happy and lasting marriage."
Kate, 42, will no doubt be relishing every moment of her time with her brood before she steps up once again to do her duties after Easter. For the first time in years, she is enjoying being a full-time mum and not having to juggle family life with royal work and charity commitments.

"Queen Camilla's fondness for Alchemilla Mollis, with its delicate beauty and symbolism of grace and abundance, mirrors her enchanting spirit." Millie noted.

The late Queen Elizabeth II's association with Lily of the Valley, which represents purity and sweetness, "reveals her enduring commitment to her people" while her daughter Princess Anne's affection for hellebores, appreciated for their resilience and determination, "resonates with her steadfast nature".
"The selection of flowers by these royal family members goes beyond their appearance," Millie explained. "Each choice reflects their individual personalities and values, infusing elegance and sentiment into their lives."
