What does it mean to not actively participate in the parade? Issuing the letter to the Irish Guards is one such example.
As such, it wouldn’t be surprising if Middleton made another gesture to honor the day without jeopardizing her convalescence. According to the ‘Daily Mail’, this could include a brief appearance on the iconic balcony of Buckingham Palace, where the royal family traditionally greets the public.
