The Princess of Wales made her long-awaited first public appearance of the year at Trooping the Colour. Her Royal Highness joined her husband Prince William and their kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, at King Charles’ birthday parade on June 15.
The Princess also shared that she was looking forward to attending the King’s birthday parade with her family and that she hopes “to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”

Catherine confirmed the day before Trooping the Colour that she would be at the event. In a message released on June 14, Her Royal Highness said: “I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family.”
Catherine stood beside her father-in-law, King Charles. His Majesty, who was diagnosed with a form of cancer earlier this year, praised his “beloved daughter-in-law” after her health announcement in March. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said at the time that the King was “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did.”
When the Princess announced in March that she was undergoing chemotherapy, she said that “having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance.”
The Princess and her medical team have made it clear that going about her normal life and doing some of the things she enjoys is an integral part of her recovery.
