Princess of Wales Returns to Public Eye at Trooping the Color Ceremony

Kate Middleton, the princess of Wales, returned to the public eye for the first time since her cancer diagnosis was revealed in March.

The princess, along with her family — 👑Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — attended the annual 🎖️Trooping of Color, per the Associated Press.

Saturday’s event marked Kate’s first public appearance since December.

Kate released a statement on Friday regarding her health, the New York Times reported.

“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” Kate said. She added she will need “a few more months” of treatment. 

“On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting,” Kate said. “But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”

She also said she is “not out of the woods yet.”

“I am not out of the woods yet,” she said. “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.”
