Kate Middleton Latest News: Princess to Attend Trooping the Color After Cancer Diagnosis as Royal Provides Update on Health Battle in Heartwarming New Statement

The Princess of Wales has endured an extremely difficult year so far, with her return to the public scene coming four months after beginning chemotherapy treatment.

Kate was diagnosed with cancer in February and has been resting at her home in Windsor with the help of her husband, Prince William, and the Middleton family.

The mother of three asked for time, space and privacy for her family when she revealed on March 22 that she was being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.

This is the story of how the Princess recovers away from the private detective.

Kate, 42, will be on hand to ensure George, 10, Charlotte, nine, and Louis, six, enjoy the family day to celebrate their grandfather’s birthday – and her presence means they will not have to travel by car. the carriage procession without one of its parents.

Their mother’s presence will also be reassuring for the youngsters as they watch the flight from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where Prince Louis covered his ears to block out the noise in 2022.

While the day focuses on commemorating the official birthday of the British sovereign and displaying military precision, the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales often steal the show with their hilarious antics.

Last year, he was particularly expressive on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, making faces and playing in front of the camera.

Despite more than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses, 400 musicians and a flyover of 70 aircraft, Louis was the star of this historic day.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wished the Princess of Wales well on social media.

Sources have suggested that, as the princess herself said in her message, she likes to spend personal time on things that give her energy and positivity and connecting with nature is something that continues to support her recovery.

It is believed that the princess decided to return to the public spotlight for her first public appearance in Trooping because family is very important to her and she wanted to be there to support her husband and children.

Your return to work is considered one of the first steps to regain strength.

While his attendance at Trooping the Color will undoubtedly be a “significant moment”, it has been strongly emphasized that it should not be seen as a return to a full agenda of public engagements.

Any future engagement will be announced closer to the date, although the Mail understands Kate will not be present at Monday’s Order of the Garter ceremony or at Royal Ascot next week.

However, the Princess is understood to feel well enough to start working a little from home and has been holding meetings in Windsor.

‘I’m making a lot of progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.

‘On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to let your body rest. But on good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling good.

‘My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On days when I’m feeling pretty good, it’s a pleasure to get involved with school life, spend personal time doing the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as start working a little from home.

‘I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join in on some public engagements over the summer, but I also know I’m not out of the woods yet.

‘I’m learning to be patient, especially in the face of uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take this much-needed time to heal.
