Kate, who last took part in a public royal engagement last Christmas, announced her intent to attend the Trooping the Colour parade June 14, one week after apologizing in a letter to the Irish Guards—of which she serves in the ceremonial role of Colonel—for missing a key rehearsal for the military event.
“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family,” the princess wrote in an Instagram post, “and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”
She also gave an update on her health battle. “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” Kate said. “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.”
She said her “treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months,” later adding, “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.”
