Kate Middleton’s Health Takes a Toll After Trooping the Colour. Kate Middleton made her first public appearance in six months at the much-anticipated Trooping the Colour parade, attending alongside her three children. This appearance followed a health scare and marked her return to the public eye.
The Princess of Wales, who announced in late March that she is undergoing preventative cancer treatment, showed signs that the event took a toll on her health, according to royal expert Katie Nicholl.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Nicholl noted that Kate “looked impeccable” despite her ongoing health crisis, aware that “the eyes of the world are on her.”
“There is a huge amount of scrutiny that will take its toll,” Nicholl explained. “I think we can probably imagine that she had a long and well-deserved rest afterwards.”
Nicholl described Kate’s ability to maintain composure in public, likening her to a swan gliding on the surface while paddling frantically beneath. She emphasized the significant preparation, time, effort, and energy that likely went into Kate’s appearance on Saturday.
Highlighting the physical demands of the event, Nicholl mentioned that Kate was “on her feet for a long period of time.” At one point during the parade, she was offered a seat, which she “gratefully accepted.” This gesture, Nicholl suggested, acknowledged that Kate is not as strong or fit as she was before starting her treatment.
The expert also mentioned that it is unlikely Princess Kate will make another public appearance for “a little while,” as the events of Saturday will require some recovery time.
