The spotlight always shifts to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s children during the King’s birthday parade. Trooping the Colour, a grand military spectacle marking the occasion is a highlight on the royal family’s summer schedule. Scheduled for Saturday, June 15, in London, the event will see the King, Queen, and various family members in attendance.
Among them are the Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by their three children: Prince George, aged ten, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six. Notably, this appearance holds significance for Kate, as it marks her first public outing since commencing preventative chemotherapy in late February due to a cancer diagnosis. Despite her presence, it’s important to note that her participation shouldn’t signal a complete return to royal duties or a packed schedule of engagements. Her future appearances will hinge on her health and well-being.
While Prince George has accompanied his father to football matches, such as the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Man City in May, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis haven’t been seen publicly since Christmas Day 2023.
