In a much-anticipated announcement, the Ministry of Defence confirmed that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is scheduled to make her official comeback to public-facing royal duties at the Trooping the Colour parade. The event, which celebrates the official birthday of King Charles III, will take place on June 8th at Horse Guards Parade in London.

Middleton, 42, has been in recovery since undergoing a "planned" abdominal surgery in January. While the palace had previously stated that she would resume in-person appearances after Easter, her absence, coupled with Prince William's recent unexpected absence from a royal event, had sparked concerns and unfounded conspiracy theories about her well-being and whereabouts.

However, a representative for Middleton reassured the public that she is "doing well" and emphasized that significant updates would be provided in accordance with the guidance issued by Kensington Palace in January.

Putting an end to speculations surrounding her health, Middleton was recently photographed for the first time in over two months. The pictures showed her wearing sunglasses as she rode in the passenger seat of a black Audi SUV, driven by her mother, Carole Middleton, near Windsor Castle.

The Trooping the Colour parade holds significant importance in the royal calendar, and Middleton's attendance will mark her official return to engagements. While a royal source noted that the palace had not been consulted regarding the Ministry of Defence's announcement, Middleton's presence is eagerly awaited by royal enthusiasts.

Last seen on December 25th, 2023, attending a Christmas service alongside Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, Middleton's upcoming appearance at the parade will undoubtedly draw attention as she steps back into her public role.

As the date approaches, it is expected that Kensington Palace will provide further updates regarding Middleton's recovery and any additional engagements she may undertake. Royal watchers and well-wishers alike are eagerly anticipating Middleton's return to her official duties, as she resumes her important roles within the royal family.
