Out of all the Princess of Wales's public appearances over the years, none will ever be quite the same as Trooping the Colour in 2024. This was the first time we'd seen her since she made her cancer diagnosis public. A few days before, Kate posted a photo by Matt Porteous and shared she was making "good progress" and was looking forward to the parade.
Even though she'd confirmed she would be there, it was still a huge moment to see the Princess join her family for Trooping the Colour. It also apparently took a lot out of her, with royal author Christopher Andersen alleging that "once the event was over and they returned to Adelaide Cottage, Kate collapsed from exhaustion."
