Kate Middleton made her royal return at Trooping the Colour after her cancer diagnosis, hinting at attending more events this summer.

While Kate and King Charles are back, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were absent, reportedly not invited. Despite this, Meghan stole the spotlight by launching a new product just before Kate’s return, sparking accusations of attention-stealing.

Kate confirmed her comeback on Friday.

Kate Middleton return to royal duty after cancer treatment

The Princess of Wales expressed excitement about attending Trooping the Colour, her first royal outing since surgery and cancer treatment.

“I’ve been touched by the support, which has helped William and me through tough times,” Kate said.

She added, “I’m making progress, but with chemotherapy, there are good and bad days. On tough days, I rest; on good days, I make the most of it.”

Her treatment will continue for a few more months, and she’s looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade and some summer engagements, though she’s aware she’s not out of the woods yet.

Kate Middleton shared, “I’m learning patience, taking it day by day, and allowing myself time to heal. Thank you for your understanding and to those who’ve shared their stories.”

At Trooping the Colour, she wore a white dress with a black bow, smiling and waving to the crowd.

Schofield praised her, saying she looked “absolutely incredible” and compared her to Audrey Hepburn. “She’s so engaged with the kids, showing their close bond.”

Kate later joined her family on the Buckingham Palace balcony. After a tough year, things seemed to return to normal. Though she’s attending more events this summer, she’ll choose them wisely.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘were not invited’ to Trooping the Colour, expert says

The ongoing feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continues, with the couple not involved in royal events for years, except for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.

Though King Charles invited them to Balmoral this summer, the absence of the Sussexes at Trooping the Colour wasn’t surprising. Royal expert Tom Quinn revealed there were discussions about inviting Harry and Meghan, but it was quickly dismissed. Even if they accepted, it was believed their presence would overshadow the event.

It’s unclear if Harry and Meghan watched the royal family at Buckingham Palace, but they likely have other priorities.
