“Funny how it was just grandad & I for the digging & planting & then suddenly everyone appears when up!! Crowning a very special weekend with the Drapers (Aunty Sue & grandma you are here in spirit) by planting a magnolia tree for #earthday. Happy Sunday everyone,” she captioned the snap.

Derek Draper health update

The snap of Derek comes not long after Kate revealed that her husband had returned to hospital. The couple attended an Elton John concert recently – and the legendary singer gave them a shoutout during the show. Kate shared a clip of Elton giving them a shoutout on her Instagram.

“So this was a moment. Finally found someone who had actually filmed it rather than just burst into joyous tears as we did!!! Still can’t quite believe we were there at all. Even hours before we feared Derek would be too weak – but he was determined,” she said.

“Yes Derek has been back in hospital this week and yes there’s such a long road ahead but @eltonjohn & @davidfurnish you gave the kids and Derek a moment that we will never forget and has lifted their spirits again to feel anything is possible,” she then added.
