The royal statement on January 17 disclosed Kate’s surgery.
Even before she left the hospital, palace sources indicated Kate would work from home while she recuperated.
Garraway’s husband, Derek Draper, died in January after suffering a cardiac arrest the previous month.
He had also been dealing with complications of COVID-19, which he contracted in March 2020.
“I just think it was lovely of them to reach out to me,” Garraway added.
Last June, William presented Garraway with an MBE for her contributions to journalism, broadcasting, and charity.
Kate and William have sent caring notes expressing their sympathy on multiple occasions.
For the queen’s funeral, Kate and William left handwritten missives on the late monarch’s coffin.
