The Princess of Wales has issued a moving statement about her ongoing cancer battle and announced that she will attend the Trooping the Colour tomorrow.
Kate, 42, revealed that she has both good and bad days as she undergoes “preventative chemotherapy” for an undisclosed form of the disease.
She has said she has been “blown away” by the well wishes she and her family have received since she announced her diagnosis in a poignant video in March
Admitting that she is “not out of the woods yet”, the Princess said she has returned to light duties and helping her three children with her schoolwork when she feels well enough.
The Princess said that she is looking forward to King Charles’s official birthday parade, which will be her first public appearance since Christmas Day last year.
It is believed that the Princess will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the King’s Birthday Flypast, which brings the event to a close.
While this is a hopeful message from the Princess, she stressed that she still has months of treatment ahead of her and will therefore unlikely to return to her previous duties anytime soon.

The Princess of Wales announces her return
18:05 , Emma Guinness
The Princess of Wales has released a statement confirming her attendance at Trooping the Colour tomorrow and providing an update on her cancer treatment.
It reads: “I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.
“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.
“My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.
“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.
“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.
“Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”
Tomorrow will mark Kate’s first public appearance since Christmas Day last year.
Royal source claims Kate doesn’t want to ‘upstage’ King at Trooping the Colour
17:00 , Emma Guinness
Following the news that the Princess of Wales is “considering” an appearance at Trooping the Colour, a source close to Kate has claimed she won’t appear to avoid upstaging the king.
Should the Princess appear, it will be her first time in the public eye since Christmas last year. She stepped back from her role in January because of ongoing health concerns.
The source told the Daily Beast: “Kate’s appearance will steal King Charles’s show. She won’t take [the] risk to anger her father-in-law.
“It would be wonderful, of course,” they added, “but more than slightly bizarre given that she bowed out of the Colonel’s Review.”
The cost of Trooping the Colour
15:30 , Emma Guinness
A freedom of information request (FOI) has given an insight into the potential cost of this year’s Trooping the Colour.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) revealed that they spent £59,662.70 on the 2021 event on transport, fuel, horse food and temporary accommodations.
However, the total was much higher as this is not every cost incurred by the parade, which marks the King’s official birthday.
A much more significant £28 million was set aside to cover the event and the then-Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, which included four days of public events. An additional eight million was spent on security for the event by the Metropolitan Police.
Statista reports that the Sovereign Grant for this financial year is £86.3 million – the same amount allocated in 2022 and 2023.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘relieved’ to miss Trooping the Colour
14:30 , Emma Guinness
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly “relieved” to miss this year’s Trooping the Colour.
According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are no longer working royals, were not invited to the King’s official birthday parade.
This was also reportedly the case last year, despite it being Charles’s first Trooping the Colour as King.
Royal expert Tessa Dunlop told the Mirror of last year’s event: “Prince Harry is not coming to the King’s inaugural Trooping of the Colour, when for the first time since 1986 Britain’s monarch will be mounted taking the salute.
“Whether Harry was invited or not (probably not why would you invite someone who was not going to attend?) is a moot point. Harry is no longer a working royal.
“Trooping the Colour is a job for our working royals. The key word there is ‘job’. Saturday will see them dressed up and on parade, doing what they do best, providing the military, which depends on its hierarchical structures, with a symbolic figurehead.”
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis ‘likely’ to appear at Trooping the Colour
13:24 , Emma Guinness
A royal expert has claimed that the three Wales children “really enjoy” the Trooping the Colour and are likely to appear at tomorrow’s event.
This comes amid a difficult year for the family, which has seen Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis largely kept out of the public eye as a result of the Princess of Wales’s ongoing cancer battle.
Of the family’s appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony, royal author Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight: “They’ve been up there several times now.
“They are always impeccably behaved, often entertaining, and they always seem to enjoy it. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if William decides to bring them.”

Trooping the Colour is one of the most popular, glittering events in the royal calendar and it is taking place this Saturday (15 June).
Otherwise known as the King’s official birthday, it is a formal state ceremonial parade that sees the Monarch inspect the regiments of Household Division.

The first official portrait of King Charles III since his coronation has been covered in posters by activists at a London gallery.
Animal Rising campaigners plastered Wallace and Gromit-themed posters onto the new painting of the monarch, which is currently on public display at the Philip Mould Gallery in London, at around midday on Tuesday.

Wednesday 12 June 2024 08:28 , Emma Guinness
Prince William yesterday celebrated innovations that are being made by businesses using seaweed.
He met with businesses at Cardiff Metropolitan University including Car-y-Mor, a seaweed farm that produces snacks.
Owen Haines of Car-y-Mor said the entire industry has the potential to create much-needed jobs in coastal areas.
“Coastal areas tend to be dominated by tourism and second homes, and the trouble with that is sooner or later the community collapses, as in, the doctor’s surgery closes, the school closes – no local can afford the housing,” Haines said.
“Whereas if you start businesses like this, you’ve got a chance to restart. This is an opportunity to start a new sector with land and sea farming, by producing bio-stimulants [from the seaweed] you can put on the fields.”

The new portrait of King Charles is unharmed after it was targeted by animal rights protestors today.
Gallery owner Philip Mould explained that it was behind a piece of glass that protected the image of the King when the Monarch’s face was replaced with that of the animated character Wallace and a speech bubble was added.
“We had anticipated that there might be these type of responses,” Mould said of the portrait, which hangs in London’s Philip Mould Gallery.
“(The painting) is safely secured in its frame with protective layers.
“One always lives with that thought these days. I wasn’t hugely surprised.
“The attack on the picture was not actually of a serious nature. The perpetrators put water on the surface very quickly in a swift manoeuvre and then they added stickers to that.
“No damage was done. The stickers only remained up for about 10 or 15 seconds, and then were taken down by my gallery staff.
“I asked the individuals to leave and they did.”

The RSPCA has responded to the vandalism of King Charles’s new portrait, which targeted the organisation.
Animal Rising supporters claim they defaced the image of the King at a London gallery to draw attention to the alleged plight of animals on RSPCA Assured farms.
An RSPCA spokesperson said: “We are shocked by this vandalism of His Majesty [the] King, our patron’s, portrait.
“We welcome scrutiny of our work, but we cannot condone illegal activity of any kind. Our staff and volunteers work extremely hard rescuing, caring for, and speaking up for animals.
“Animal Rising’s sustained activity is distracting from our focus on the work that really matters – helping thousands of animals every day.
“We remain confident that our RSPCA Assured scheme is the best way to help farmed animals right now, while campaigning to change their lives in the future.”
