The reviews are in for Saturday’s Trooping the Colour, complete with a triumphant return to royal duty for the Princess of Wales—who hadn’t been seen in public since Christmas Day, outside of her March 22 video announcement that she had been diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year.
The Daily Mail called Trooping the Colour “a dazzling, dashing reminder of the skill, discipline, and loyalty of our Armed Forces”; The Telegraph said of the ceremony that it was “Tactile, together, and very human, this was a royal appearance like no other: the family reunited against the odds.” And The Times, for its part, wrote “As moments in the royal history books go, it will stake its claim at the top of the pile.” Roya Nikkhah, royal editor for that outlet, wrote “Little happens by accident when it comes to royal pictures and messaging. The sight of Charles shoulder-to-shoulder with the princess on the Buckingham Palace balcony spoke volumes about his pride in his beloved daughter-in-law.”
