According to ITV News’ Royal Producer Lizzie Robinson, a potential appearance by the Princess of Wales at next week’s Trooping the Colour hasn’t been completely ruled out.
Lizzie discussed the upcoming ceremonial event and the possibility of Kate making a brief balcony appearance with her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
“What’s interesting is that they’ve confirmed that the Princess of Wales is not going to do the Colonel’s review, which is the weekend before Trooping the Colour. She’s obviously still undergoing preventative chemotherapy, she’s still recovering, but they haven’t said specifically that she won’t be at Trooping, which has left this question mark over whether she might be there,” Lizzie says. “I think anybody who is undergoing any kind of cancer treatment, things have to be decided on a day-by-day, week-by-week basis.”
She adds: “When we first learned that she was undergoing treatment, they did say to us that the Princess might decide to attend events during her treatment, if she felt up to it. Trooping remains a question mark, and that will depend on her.”
The mother of three last appeared at a royal event on Christmas Day 2023, just weeks before her abdominal surgery was publicly disclosed in mid-January.
It was not until March that the Princess courageously announced her cancer diagnosis and confirmed she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
There is no expectation for the Princess to resume her royal duties for some time, and recent reports suggest this is unlikely to happen before at least autumn.
