Recent updates on Kate Middleton’s health have captured the public’s attention.
After a period of discretion, Kensington Palace has announced that the Princess of Wales will not attend the Colonel’s Review on June 8, a pre-Trooping the Colour event, left open the possibility that she may make a surprise appearance.
The princess has not made public appearances since Christmas 2023 at Sandringham.
On January 16, she underwent successful abdominal surgery and, on March 22, she revealed in a video that she had been diagnosed with cancer following the operation.
Since then, she has not been seen in public, although People magazine recently reported that she was seen doing everyday activities with her family.
What will Kate Middleton’s surprise appearance be like?
Although the Princess of Wales, will not participate in the rehearsals prior to Trooping the Colour, it is anticipated that she could surprise the public with an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
This place is emblematic for the royal family, who traditionally gather there to watch the parade and greet the crowd.
According to the British newspaper Express, Kate is considering a surprise appearance at this year’s event, which is likely to reassure recent speculation about her state of health.
“The Princess of Wales is understood to be considering making a surprise appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony at this year’s Trooping the Colour,” publishes the British media.
Despite the expectation, her return to public duties will depend on medical clearance.
Since Kate shared her cancer diagnosis, updates have been scarce.
However, the Prince of Wales offered encouraging news about his wife’s recovery during a visit to the Scilly Isles, assuring that she is doing well.
Despite these statements, sources close to the royal family suggest that the Princess will not resume her official activities until the fall, and could even extend into next year for her full return to commitments to the monarchy.
