Kate Middleton poses in the shade of a tree, next to a stream at her Windsor residence, wearing jeans, sneakers, a white T-shirt and a beige jacket. The photo was taken earlier this week. Her appearance is good, and the tone of her words, on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Kensington Palace, is positive. “I’m making good progress. [del tratamiento de su cáncer]but like everyone who undergoes chemotherapy, I have good and bad days,” says Catherine of Wales in her first public message in recent months.
“On bad days I feel tired and weak, and you should allow your body to rest. On good days, when I feel stronger, you want to take advantage of that well-being as much as possible,” explains Middleton. “My treatment is going well, and will continue for a few more months,” she adds, warning that she is not “out of the woods” yet (out of the woods‘out of the forest’, in the English expression).
I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the hardest times.

— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 14, 2024
The Princess of Wales has confirmed that she will be with Kings Charles III and Camilla and their family this Saturday, both in the official carriage and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, during the celebration of the Trooping the Color, the military parade that officially celebrates the anniversary of the British monarch each year. The translation of the name, “parading the colors,” refers to the color of the banner with which each regiment is presented. It is usually celebrated on a Saturday in June, and does not coincide with the exact date of the sovereign’s birthday (November 14, in the case of Charles of England). Traditionally, the late Queen Elizabeth II – and later her son – presided on horseback in a parade that ran along the hundreds of meters of the Mall, the avenue that connects Buckingham Palace with Trafalgar Square. In recent years, the queen opted for the horse-drawn carriage. On this occasion, Carlos III, still under the effects of treatment for his own cancer, will also choose that option.
“Her Majesty is delighted that the Princess of Wales will be able to attend tomorrow’s events. [por el sábado]”, and is looking forward to participating in the entire ceremony,” said a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace a few minutes after Middleton published the photo and the announcement of her improvement.
The ceremony concludes with the classic greeting of members of the royal family from the palace balcony. Last year, Charles III and his wife Camilla were accompanied by the Princes of Wales, William and Catherine, their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, as well as the monarch’s siblings, Royal Princess Anne and Prince Edward.

Kate’s return
Since she revealed on March 22 that she had cancer and had begun treatment, thus ending weeks of frantic speculation on social media and in many media outlets about her health and whereabouts, the Princess of Wales has remained completely hidden from the public. cameras and the public.
“We trust you understand that as a family we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me great joy, and I hope to return to it when I am able. But, for now, I must concentrate on achieving a full recovery,” Middleton then requested in a video published by Kensington Palace in which she appeared calm and determined, but looking pale. Her tone of voice was the best demonstration of the anguish of that moment.
Her husband and heir to the throne, William of England, has maintained an activity with redoubled intensity throughout this time, to fill the gaps of the monarch and Kate Middleton herself, one of the members of the royal house who had a more profuse agenda. .
The news of his illness aggravated the general perception of the British about the strength of their royal house. Carlos III, 75 years old, had just announced shortly before that he had cancer and had to undergo treatment. The monarch distanced himself from in-person public activity, but maintained a constant image of activity through photos, videos and recorded or written messages. His intention at all times was to continue leading the “tasks of State”, such as the regular exchange of information with the Prime Minister or the dispatch of all the official documents that arrived in his office every day.
On April 30, after almost three months of treatment, he accompanied Queen Consort Camilla to the Macmillan Cancer Center in London, in his first public event. The king chatted with patients and researchers and listened carefully to his explanations.
The doctors treating the monarch showed enough optimism about his recovery to give the green light to the resumption of his public activity, although the treatment, which has never been clarified whether it is chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy, will continue.
