On June 15, 2024 The Princess of Wales made her highly anticipated return to Trooping The Colour.
This would mark The Princess of Wales’s first public appearance in six months since she shared her cancer diagnosis. The day before the event, The Princess sent a message to the world giving an update on her recovery and revealing she would attend the King’s birthday parade and hoped to join a few public engagements over the summer, “I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.
I am making good 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 give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.
My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.
I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.
I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.
Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”
If your into fashion, Princess Catherine wore a white dress by Jenny Packham adorned with the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch and paired with a coordinating hat by Philip Treacy.
