Kate Middleton’s Role in Trooping the Colour Revealed Amid Private Cancer Battle

Kate Middleton’s role in the British monarchy’s annual Trooping the Colour festivities has been revealed as she continues to battle cancer in private.

The palace confirmed that the Princess of Wales will once again serve as the honorary colonel of the Irish Guards, which are trooping its flag at the parade this year.

However, she will not salute at the traditional Colonel’s Review on June 8.

It’s unclear if Middleton, 42, will join the royal family at the official Trooping the Colour on June 15.

She has attended the event every year since marrying Prince William in 2011, except for the 2020 and 2021 events, which were scaled down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It seems unlikely that Middleton will appear at the celebration, as the Daily Beast reported last week that she will cease public events for the remainder of the year. A royal source explained that those planning must know what all the principals are doing well in advance.

A supposed friend of Middleton and the Prince of Wales, 41, also told the outlet that she’s focusing on her mental health as she continues to recover from her preventative chemotherapy treatments.

“The key thing for her now is avoiding any kind of stress or anxiety and just getting on with the business of getting better,” the insider added.

“They will bail out and be off to Sandringham when school breaks up.” A family friend shared this week that Middleton has “turned a corner” in her cancer battle.

“It has been a great relief that she is tolerating the medication and is doing a lot better,” the pal told Vanity Fair Tuesday. The friend added that Middleton’s cancer has been “a very challenging and worrying time” for the royals, but her immediate family has “rallied around her.”
