I doubt she went to the UK to work. It looks to me to be another "break" for her, the latest of several holidays she's already enjoyed this year.

If that were the case it would be highly unlikely that Petra would even mention her departure.

She may well be attending private meetings, the King was at Sandhurst yesterday and there was barely any media coverage.
