“Appalling”: Praise For Kate Middleton’s Public Appearance Amid Cancer Stirs Controversy

While many Royals fans praised the Princess of Wales’ surprise outing with her family, others slammed a columnist calling other cancer patients “lesser mortals,” highlighting issues of social class and privilege.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, was joined by her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis at Trooping the Colour on Saturday (June 15), a ceremonial event performed every year on the Horse Guards Parade in London, United Kingdom.

The 42-year-old British royal family member, who has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer since late February, was on hand in a carriage with her children George, 10, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, while Prince William took part in the parade on horseback, The Daily Mail reported on Saturday.
