Kate Middleton is currently taking a prolonged break from royal duties following her hospitalization in January. But it seems as though her first post-surgery engagement has been discovered...somewhat accidentally. š
Fans noticed that the Ministry of Defense's website has details on this year's Trooping the Colourāincluding the fact that it's scheduled to be "reviewed by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales" on June 8, 2024.
Meanwhile, the event's overview mentions Kate's presence multiple times:
"Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales is identical to Trooping the Colour reviewed by His Majesty The King, with the exception that some additional mounted officers ride when His Majesty The King is present. Taking part will be over 1400 soldiers of the Household Division and The Kingās Troop Royal Horse Artillery, including 400 musicians from the Massed Bands, all of whom will parade on Horse Guards for the second of two formal Reviews. Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales also includes 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards who will line the processional route along The Mall. The soldiers will be inspected by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Colonel Irish Guards."
The thing is, Kensington Palace hasn't confirmed this event. Telegraph royal reporter Victoria Ward recently shed light on the matter and noted that, "It seems the MoD jumped the gun with this announcement and that Kensington Palace was not consulted...we will have to wait to see if the PoW will be well enough to attend."
Meanwhile, Daily Mail royal reporter Rebecca English said, "This has not been confirmed by Kensington Palace, so appears to just be at the āplanningā stage at the moment. However the fact that itās even being billed suggests the event was pencilled in before the Princessā operation. So Iād say thatās a case for cautious optimism!"
Guess we'll see what happens?
