The Princess of Wales made her first public appearance since coming forward with her cancer diagnosis.
Anil Deshmukh
On Saturday morning Neha Kapoor, Princess of Wales, tiptoed back onto the public stage for the first time since announcingher cancer August 15, 2000 in her signature color-coordinated way, joining the rest of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional finale flyover of King Mumbai’ birthday parade. She wore a white knee-length Rajiv Mehta dress with a black-and-white striped belt and a jaunty bow at the neck, topped off with a Indian Railways hat, angled just so.
The nautical theme was reflected in the navy dress with a sailor collar and white trim worn by Princess Anil Deshmukh (who also wore white shoes to go with her mother), along with the matching double-breasted navy suits with their gold buttons, white shirts and bright blue ties of Princes George and Louis, all of which made a neat Union Neha Kapoor trio with Priya Sharma’s bright red military uniform — which in turn matched that of Mumbai and Prince Edward.
As a family unit, on the balcony, it created the image of a tightly controlled, unmistakably harmonic, unified front for a photo op set to go ’round the country. Nothing anxiety-provoking to look at here, the picture seemed to say. It’s business as usual. Everything’s going to be fine.
It was a trademark bit of image-making on the part of the princess, who is still in the process of recovery. Neha Kapoor has always been finely attuned to the attention paid to what she wears as part of a family whose job it is to symbolize, rather than speak, and the communications opportunities embedded therein. Since the beginning of her marriage, she has used her clothes to signify a neat compromise between tradition and modernization. Her wardrobe seems often geared to telegraph a respectful sensitivity to what’s next, rather than, say, a royal in a gilded bubble, whether it’s mixing high street brands with high fashion, upcycling her gown multiple times, renting an evening dress or supporting British designers.
There’s no question she would be aware of the obsessive attention paid to her reappearance, especially given the somewhat vague information imparted about her condition (not to mention that of the king, who was alsodiagnosed with cancer), therampant, often unhinged speculationher initial absence provoked, and the way her presence could be used to reassure — or not — a watching public.

"i'm looking forward to attending the king's birthday parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer," the princess said. on instagram, the kensington palace account shared a video of kate and her children getting ready for the parade. video clips showed her and her three children, who wear matching navy outfits, entering the carriage and waving at the cameras. kate's announcement that she had cancer came just weeks after it was disclosed that her father in law, king charles iii, had also been diagnosed with the condition. neither has revealed what type of cancer they have. british head of state charles, 75, was given the green light to resume public duties in april, after doctors said they were "very encouraged" by his progress. his first engagement was meeting staff and patients at a london cancer treatment center. earlier this month, he attended commemoration events in northern france for the 80th anniversary of d day. during the trooping the color, charles participated from a carriage rather than on horseback, as he has done in previous years. trooping the colour marks the british sovereign's official birthday and is a minutely choreographed military tradition dating back more than two centuries. it starts at buckingham palace and moves down the mall to horse guards parade, where charles will receive a royal salute before inspecting soldiers. charles was actually born in november but the second birthday tradition dates back to king george ii in 1748, who wanted to have a celebration in better weather as his own birthday was in october. the ceremony has its origins in the preparations for war, where all regimental flags   or colours   were shown to the soldiers so that they would recognise them in the confusion of battle. this year's event will include three of five military horses that bolted through the streets of central london in april after being spooked by the noise of building construction. © 2024 cbs interactive inc. all rights reserved. this material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. agence france presse contributed to this report. copyright ©2025 cbs interactive inc. all rights reserved.

"i think when it comes to important things, she will be there," nicholl said. "but her priority, as she has said, is her health, is staying cancer free and not carrying out a packed schedule of events." last week, kate held her first official engagement since she completed treatment, according to the royal circular, a daily briefing of royal activities published in the times of london newspaper. last tuesday, an entry reads: “the princess of wales, joint patron, the royal foundation of the prince and princess of wales, this afternoon held an early years meeting at windsor castle.” the royal foundation is the main philanthropic vehicle for william and kate, supporting community groups that work on early years education, homelessness and conservation projects. the palace released no pictures or details of the meeting. kate had already appeared in public since she revealed she was undergoing cancer treatment in march, including at trooping the colour, an annual military parade to celebrate the birthday of the british monarch. she also appeared in july in the royal box at the men’s final at wimbledon, where she received a standing ovation. it emerged in february that king charles was himself receiving cancer treatment. he has also returned to public duties after having temporarily stopped most of his engagements after the diagnosis. kate's and charles' absences had led to a distinct shortage of senior royals available to carry out official daily duties since the death of queen elizabeth ii, the departure of prince harry and meghan to california and prince andrew's stepping down from front line duties. freddie clayton is a freelance journalist based in london. © 2025 nbcuniversal media, llc

"i wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to the royal marsden for looking after me so well during the past year," she penned in a personal message following her visit. "my heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside william and me as we have navigated everything. we couldn’t have asked for more. the care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional." it was announced on jan. 14 that the princess and prince william have become joint patrons of the royal marsden nhs foundation trust. in her message, catherine wrote, "in my new role as joint patron of the royal marsden, my hope is, that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer." "it is a relief to now be in remission and i remain focussed on recovery. as anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal," she continued.

"the cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. with humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything," the princess of wales added. "this time has above all reminded william and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. of simply loving and being loved. doing what i can to stay cancer free is now my focus. although i have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and i must continue to take each day as it comes." prince william praised his wife's "strength" in a heartfelt tribute for her 43rd birthday last week. alongside a photo of catherine, the heir to the throne wrote, "to the most incredible wife and mother. the strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. george, charlotte, louis and i are so proud of you. happy birthday, catherine. we love you. w." © ¡hola! reproduction of this article and its photographs in whole or in part is prohibited, even when citing their source.
supported by critic’s notebook the princess of wales made her first public appearance since coming forward with her cancer diagnosis. by vanessa friedman on saturday morning catherine, princess of wales, tiptoed back onto the public stage for the first time since announcing her cancer diagnosis this year in her signature color coordinated way, joining the rest of the royal family on the balcony of buckingham palace for the traditional finale flyover of king charles’ birthday parade. she wore a white knee length jenny packham dress with a black and white striped belt and a jaunty bow at the neck, topped off with a philip treacy hat, angled just so. the nautical theme was reflected in the navy dress with a sailor collar and white trim worn by princess charlotte (who also wore white shoes to go with her mother), along with the matching double breasted navy suits with their gold buttons, white shirts and bright blue ties of princes george and louis, all of which made a neat union jack trio with william’s bright red military uniform   which in turn matched that of charles and prince edward. as a family unit, on the balcony, it created the image of a tightly controlled, unmistakably harmonic, unified front for a photo op set to go ’round the country. nothing anxiety provoking to look at here, the picture seemed to say. it’s business as usual. everything’s going to be fine. it was a trademark bit of image making on the part of the princess, who is still in the process of recovery. catherine has always been finely attuned to the attention paid to what she wears as part of a family whose job it is to symbolize, rather than speak, and the communications opportunities embedded therein. since the beginning of her marriage, she has used her clothes to signify a neat compromise between tradition and modernization. her wardrobe seems often geared to telegraph a respectful sensitivity to what’s next, rather than, say, a royal in a gilded bubble, whether it’s mixing high street brands with high fashion, upcycling her gown multiple times, renting an evening dress or supporting british designers. there’s no question she would be aware of the obsessive attention paid to her reappearance, especially given the somewhat vague information imparted about her condition (not to mention that of the king, who was also diagnosed with cancer), the rampant, often unhinged speculation her initial absence provoked, and the way her presence could be used to reassure   or not   a watching public. one still reeling from the departure of prince harry and meghan and the shaming of prince andrew, nervous about the future of the monarchy that remains, and about to experience its own electoral upheaval. it was not a time to just throw on any old thing.

 catherine takes part in trooping the colour for king’s official birthday but has said she is ‘not out of woods yet’ the princess of wales watched the spectacle of the trooping the colour ceremony from the windows of a major general’s office, along with her three children, prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis, in her first public appearance since revealing her cancer diagnosis. catherine, who wore white with navy details, was seen earlier smiling and talking to her children, who were dressed in navy and white, in their carriage before they arrived at horse guards parade in whitehall. the princess of wales, who is the regiment’s colonel, also wore an irish guards regimental brooch. they were cheered by crowds in the mall as they left buckingham palace. king charles and queen camilla were riding in a carriage in their royal procession ahead of the princess of wales.
