Royal experts predict that Princess Catherine will likely maintain tradition this June, despite her recent health challenges.
The Princess of Wales has noticeably withdrawn from the public eye since her cancer diagnosis became public knowledge. There has been speculation about her return to public life, but it seems unlikely that she will attend the Trooping the Colour on June 15th.
For those unfamiliar, Trooping the Colour is a significant event for the royal family. It's a traditional ceremony that celebrates the sovereign's official birthday, featuring members of the royal family waving to the crowd from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Last year marked the first Trooping the Colour under King Charles III, who is also battling cancer, since he began his reign. Princess Catherine has been a regular attendee since 2011, but given the recent challenges she and Prince William have faced, particularly with her treatment and the extensive media attention, their situation has been difficult.
Royal expert Christopher Andersen shared his insights on the matter, telling US Weekly, "This is going to be interesting, isn't it?" Andersen suggested that while it might be possible for Catherine to make an appearance on the balcony, her absence would raise concerns. "If she doesn't attend, it could give the impression that her condition is more serious than previously thought."
As June approaches, whether Princess Catherine or King Charles, who has recently resumed his royal duties, will participate in Trooping the Colour remains uncertain. The royal family's struggle to balance public responsibilities with their private challenges is more evident than ever. Regardless of what Catherine decides, it is clear that she has a substantial support network wishing for her recovery and eventual return to public life.
