Kate Middleton Apologizes for Missing Trooping the Colour Rehearsal
Kate’s absence from the rehearsal had been announced last month. “This year General James Bucknall K.C.B., C.V.O will carry out the role of Inspecting Officer,” a Kensington Palace spokesperson told NBC News May 30. “On behalf of HRH The Princess of Wales at Colonel’s Review as she continues her recovery.”
Kensington Palace has not commented on whether Kate, who has kept away from the spotlight since revealing her cancer diagnosis in a video released in March and last attended a public event last December, will make an appearance at the main Trooping the Colour event June 15.
In past years, the princess, husband Prince William and their three kids Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, have traditionally joined other royal family members to make a public appearance on a Buckingham Palace balcony during the annual parade.
The Prince of Wales recently shared a health update about his wife. Speaking to veterans at the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Portsmouth June 5, William said Kate was getting better and added, “She’d have loved to be here today.”
Trooping the Colour celebrates the U.K. monarch’s birthday every spring. The King, who turned 75 last November, is also battling cancer and has confirmed his attendance at the parade. However, he is expected to travel by carriage instead of horseback, multiple outlets have reported.
