The Princess of Wales, Kate, announced on Friday that she is “making progress” on the road to recovery after treatment for cancer diagnosed in recent months and that she will be able to attend Saturday’s celebration of Trooping the Colour, the official birthday of King Charles III . Kate is particularly expected on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional greeting of the British royals on the occasion of this holiday. It will be her first public event in almost seven months.
“It’s wonderful, wonderful news,” British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said at a press conference at the G7 in Borgo Egnazia. «The whole country is with her. She deserves high praise. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow”, concluded the prime minister.
Trooping the Colour
The princess specified that she is not yet “out of danger”. She has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy since the cancer announcement and, while treatment is ongoing, her improved health means she will be able to appear in public for the first time since last December.
He will accompany his three children in a carriage during “Trooping the Colour”, as the annual military parade held in central London to celebrate the monarch’s official birthday is called. According to the programme, Kate will also join King Charles, Queen Camilla and other senior members of the family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, the pinnacle of the high-profile event.
Kate spent two weeks in hospital in January after undergoing major abdominal surgery, and two months later announced in a video message that tests had revealed cancer and that she would begin preventative chemotherapy.
