It’s officially September, which means summer is winding down (cue the pumpkin spice everything) and fall is just around the corner. With the kids heading back to school, it's also time for the royal family to swap vacation mode for work mode. Case in point: Queen Camilla has already been spotted returning to her duties, visiting her patronages and stepping back into her royal routine. And now, according to Kensington Palace, Kate Middleton is next.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 43, are scheduled to step out together on September 4 to visit the Natural History Museum’s newly redeveloped gardens, People reports. The visit is all about exploring how children and young people are being encouraged to connect with nature and support biodiversity in urban spaces.

ICYMI, Princess Catherine is a Patron of the Natural History Museum and during the visit, she and Prince William will meet with students involved in learning programs tied to the National Education Nature Park. Both the park and the revamped gardens are part of the Museum’s Urban Nature Movement, an initiative focused on inspiring the next generation to care for the planet and build a more sustainable future.

While we have heard from The Princess of Wales during the royal summer break—she’s weighed in on everything from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement to cheering on the women’s rugby team and sharing updates about her ‘Mother Nature’ campaign—this will mark her official return to work.

Her last formal public appearance was back in July, when she attended the Wimbledon women’s singles final with Prince William, Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 10. (No sign of Prince Louis yet—he’s still holding out on his Wimbledon debut.)

Princess Catherine made a surprise entrance at the All England Lawn Tennis Club to catch the match between Amanda Anisimova of the U.S. and France’s Iga Świątek and, side note, she looked effortlessly chic doing it.

So, if you've been missing the royal engagements, don't worry, they're back.
