Princess Kate and Prince William have greeted the Qatar royal family in a major royal event following the Princess of Wales' cancer treatment.

The couple were pictured smiling with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and his wife Sheikha Jawaher.

Kate is taking on a major role today as the two-day state visit officially begins with a ceremony in Whitehall.

The last time the Waleses held this important role was for the state visit of the South Korean President last November.

They will then travel with them to Horse Guards Parade, where The Amir and Sheikha Jawaher will receive a Ceremonial Welcome before being formally welcomed by the King at the Royal Pavilion.
