What Does Kate's Upcoming Trooping the Colour Appearance Signify for Her Return to Royal Duties?
Tomorrow, Kate Middleton plans to attend Trooping the Colour, the King's annual birthday parade, but Kensington Palace has made it clear that her appearance should not be viewed as a return to royal duties.
"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," the Princess shared in a personal message, her first major health update since her cancer announcement this past March.
T&C understands that no decisions have been made on any specific engagements in the coming months, including the upcoming Japan State Visit or Wimbledon, the annual Grand Slam tennis tournament that Kate regularly attends. Kate will attend events when she feels able to, with the support and guidance of her doctors. Kensington Palace did not comment on Kate's attendance at any specific upcoming events, and they are not putting a time frame on her returning to a schedule of public engagements or a full return to royal duties.
In the meantime, Kate said she has begun to work from home a little, which includes receiving briefings from her teams at Kensington Palace, The Royal Foundation, and the Centre for Early Childhood. She has also begun to take meetings related to her work and projects.
King Charles, who is also dealing with his own cancer battle, returned to royal engagements last month, and has since been carrying out a scaled-back diary. "Forthcoming engagements will be adapted where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty’s continued recovery," Buckingham Palace said at the time.
