Revealed: Distressing news for Kate Middleton days after launch of her latest project

Kate Middleton has been keeping a busy schedule this week thanks to the launch of her very own garden exhibit at the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show.

The Duchess of Cambridge took her whole royal family along to see her handiwork, with Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis the first to enjoy the project.

Even Her Majesty The Queen stopped by to inspect Kate's creation, as did Princess Beatrice and her father Prince Andrew.

But despite her stellar efforts the mother-of-three will not receive an award for the 'Back to Nature Garden', Hello! Magazine reports.

👀 We invite you to take a sneak peek at The Duchess of Cambridge's #RHSChelsea 'Back to Nature' Garden! The woodland wilderness garden aims to get people back to nature, and highlight the benefits of the natural world on our mental and physical wellbeing. Speaking ahead of @The_RHS garden unveiling, The Duchess of Cambridge said: "In recent years I have focussed much of my work on the early years, and how instrumental they are for outcomes later in life. I believe that spending time outdoors when we are young can play a role in laying the foundations for children to become happy, healthy adults." Some features of the #ChelseaFlowerShow garden include: 1. A swing seat hanging below the garden's centrepiece, a high platform tree house, encouraging creative play and discovery for all generations. 2. The high platform tree house is inspired by a bird or animal nest and provides a wonderful place to retreat and look out through the trees. The treehouse is made from chestnut, with hazel, stag horn oak and larch nest cladding. 3/4. The garden is aiming to inspire interaction with the natural environment through its multi-sensory, green and blue plant scheme. The garden will be filled with incredible edibles, plants for craft activities, forest scents and a diverse range of plants, shrubs and trees of different heights and textures. The garden forms part of Her Royal Highness's ongoing work on early childhood development and her mission to support efforts that give every child the best possible start in life. The Duchess has committed to making early childhood development the focus of her work in the years to come, and believes that providing children with the opportunity to spend time outdoors can play an important role.

According to the British publication, the Duchess' project was not judged because it is the Royal Horticultural Society's feature garden this year.

Still, Kate seemed to get the royal seal of approval from those who mattered.

Earlier this week, Queen Elizabeth stopped by her granddaughter-in-law's exhibition and reportedly remarked: "It's very tidy."

The Cambridge children were also big fans of their mum's creation, with future king George telling his amused dad Prince William he would give the garden "20 out of 10".
