Princess Kate Middleton, 42, attended the annual Trooping the Colour parade at Buckingham Palace on Saturday, marking her return to public life since her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
Accompanied by her husband, Prince William, and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – Princess Kate appeared in a subdued outfit, sitting in a carriage as part of the traditional procession through London. Prince William participated in the ceremony on horseback, while King Charles III, undergoing treatment for undisclosed cancer, traveled in a carriage with Queen Camilla, departing from his usual horseback appearance.
The Trooping the Colour parade, a celebration of King Charles III’s birthday, saw Princess Kate’s first public appearance since announcing her cancer battle in March. Despite ongoing preventative chemotherapy, she expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support received globally following her diagnosis.
In a social media post on Friday, Princess Kate Middleton shared her anticipation for the event, noting her ongoing treatment and cautious optimism about her health. “I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet,” she wrote.
The Princess of Wales had been absent from public life for months following abdominal surgery, sparking widespread concern before Kensington Palace confirmed her cancer diagnosis. Her appearance at the Trooping the Colour parade, a cherished royal tradition, underscores her determination and ongoing battle against the illness.
