We may have to wait some time to see Princess Kate back on Buckingham Palace’s famous balcony. Kensington Palace confirmed that Princess Kate will not join the royal family to attend this year’s Trooping the Colour, a ceremonial event held annually in June to celebrate the birthday of the current British monarch.
At the ceremony, the Princess of Wales usually serves as the inspecting officer at the traditional Colonel’s Review, but this year, that role will instead go to Lieutenant General James Bucknall, KCB, CBE, People reports.
The rare update on Kate’s return status comes as the princess undergoes “preventative chemotherapy” to treat her cancer, a condition she announced in a personal video message on March 22.
However, Princess Kate had been missing for months prior to her announcement, having paused her royal duties as she recovered from an abdominal surgery in January, per the palace. Her last official public engagement was on December 25, when she participated in the royal family’s traditional walk to Christmas morning church service on the Sandringham estate.
Although she hasn’t made an official engagement since, the royal was last publicly spotted in March. At the time, a video captured the princess leaving a Windsor farm shop with husband Prince William by her side. And previously this week, multiple publications reported that Kate had been seen running errands with her family, although no photos or videos of that outing have been published.
