Prince William and Princess Kate send personal message following monumentous Trooping the Colour appearance. The Prince and Princess of Wales were among the royals present at Trooping the Colour this year, and it was made all the more special as it was Kate’s first appearance since the news that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Following their appearance, the royal couple shared a personal message on their social media pages.
A photo collage collected several of the key moments of the day, including the royals with their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and the iconic flypast with the Red Arrows. In a touching message, they wrote: “A memorable day at The King’s Birthday Parade. From the Irish Guards Trooping their colour to seeing so many faces on the Mall, thank you for making it a day to remember.”

The royals also referenced the rainy weather that plagued the event as they finished their post with a raincloud emoji. Royal fans reacted with joy to William and Kate’s message as one commented: “The children are really growing up! As always, the Princess looks stunning. I hope she is feeling better. I am sure it was a long day for her.” A second added: “Princess Kate your strength is unmatched and what an amazing role [model] for your children,” while a third posted: “Welcome back our beloved Princess! [The] whole world loves you, it was good to see your family, finally complete!”
Kate only confirmed that she would be making an appearance at the event on Friday, as she shared a personal insight into her cancer treatment. “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” she explained. “On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.
“My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.” The Princess of Wales was seen for the first time since Christmas Day as she stepped out on Saturday wearing a beautiful look with a special meaning for the 2024 Trooping the Colour
The Princess, 42, was seen wearing a structured dress by Jenny Packham in a stunning bright white hue with black piping around the neck and a statement neck bow. Her pristine dress had a round neckline and long sleeves. Prince William’s wife also wore an oversized hat by Philip Treacy and a pair of dainty pearl earrings. The star of the show was her Irish Guards Regimental brooch, a nod to her role as colonel. Her makeup look was radiant featuring her go-to smokey eye and nude lip.
The look seemed to take inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s white bow-adorned gown worn as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady. Trooping the Colour is the annual military parade marking the monarch’s official birthday. The public watched on as over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians came together in an incredible display of military precision and fanfare.
The Princess announced that she would be making an appearance at the King’s birthday parade on Friday evening. Captioning an elegant photo captured by Matt Porteous, Kate penned a personal message to the public, offering an update on her health and thanking the public for their continued support.
“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” the royal wrote. “On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
She continued to say: “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. “I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”
