Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, made her first public appearance Saturday at a military parade honoring King Charles III.joined other British royals on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the King's official birthday, capping her first public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer.
The family were later seen watching events from a viewing point, while Kate's husband William, the Prince of Wales, rode on horseback. King Charles III and Queen Camilla were also taken in a carriage from Buckingham Palace, bringing cheers from the packed crowds as they made their way slowly up The Mall. The King took part riding a carriage rather than on horseback this year due to his own cancer diagnosis.
Trooping the Colour is the magnificent military spectacle which sees 1,400 officers and soldiers, together with 400 musicians and 200 horses, process through the streets of London from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guard's Parade, while crowds line the route. The tradition is believed to have started with the party-mad King George II in 1748. Like Charles III, George was born in November, when British weather is often far from ideal.
"It's really nice to see her back actually," he added. "For the most part we stayed dry. But we got pretty wet just after the ceremony when the parade had finished. It rained very hard."
