Six months after her last public appearance, Princess Kate, currently being treated for cancer, made her comeback in London (United Kingdom), Saturday June 15, on the occasion of the military parade celebrating the birthday of King Charles III. Dressed in a long white coat and wearing a hat, the Princess of Wales, 42, appeared smiling and greeting the public who came en masse, from the carriage taking her with her three children – George, Charlotte and Louis – from the palace from Buckingham to Horse Guards Parade where the ceremony takes place.

She then got off the carriage to follow the rest of the ceremony called “Trooping the Color” (“Salute to the Colors”) from an official building. She must later accompany the royal family to the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional greeting. The king, also suffering from cancer and undergoing treatment, also participated in the military parade in his honor. He traveled down the Mall, the long avenue from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade, in a carriage accompanied by Queen Camilla, receiving the salute of the troops.

In a message published Friday evening, Prince William’s wife gave news of his health for the first time since announcing his illness in a video at the end of March. “I’m making good progress, but as anyone undergoing chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days.”, wrote Kate, 42, in this message, accompanied by a photo taken this week in Windsor according to her services. She clarified that her treatment must continue “for several more months”.

“I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to be able to take part in some public engagements this summer, although I know I’m not out of the woods yet.”she wrote again, thanking the public for their support.
