Here is the first step towards the long-awaited “normality” at the Windsor house which since January has been shocked by two cancer diagnoses that have thrown it into despair and chaos
London woke up under an unprecedented sun. Kate is back. More or less. Late on Friday afternoon the photo of the Princess of Wales standing in the woods of Windsor burst onto social media and the message she herself signed ran in the editorial offices of the world’s media. “Thank you for the support you have shown me. It’s not over but I’m coming back, one step at a time”. This is the summary of his words which give a precise appointment: “I will be present at the parade for the King’s birthday this weekend, together with my family”. Here is the first step towards the long-awaited “normality” at the Windsor house which since January has been shocked by two cancer diagnoses which have thrown it into despair and chaos. The monarchy is back in the saddle, a reduced version, but complete.
And Kate will be there even if she has already clarified that it is not over and that today’s step does not mean that everything is back to normal and that the public commitments scheduled for the summer will always be axed.
The princess, who has retired to private life since mid-February, when she was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer, will today be in a carriage together with her three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, to follow the parade of the regiments. You are a colonel in the Irish Guards. Also rand Carlo for the first time, will follow the parade in a carriage and not on horseback because he too began cancer treatment at the beginning of the year. Both will then look out onto the famous balcony of Buckingham Palace to greet the crowd and fly over the fleet with the symbolic aircraft of the RAF military aviation.
The one that last year gave one of the funniest shots with the little and irrepressible Louis making faces and covering his ears due to the deafening noise of the planes above his head. This year’s photo will be the one everyone is waiting for: Charles III accompanied by his heirs including his favorite daughter-in-law. The two are linked by a strong affection and today by an unfortunate fate that they are facing differently but always united. After hospitalization, on the same day in January, the two left the hospital at the same time London Clinic and shortly thereafter they announced that they had cancer. The king slowed down his public commitments but never stopped or denied his subjects. Kate Middleton has chosen privacy and total withdrawal, to feel the blow and dedicate herself to her family. Yesterday he wrote that it’s not over yet, “I’m not out of the woods” but that he will slowly return to public life and today he will prove it.
A sign of encouragement for all those who are going through the same path with the disease and the clearest message to say that the crown is not in danger, the monarchy dreams of its return to worldwide vision in a show organized down to the smallest details that will be staged from 11am to 2pm today, Saturday 15 June.
