london, kate was joined in a carriage by her three children, prince george, princess charlotte, and prince louis. they watched the celebration from the major general’s office with other family members. meanwhile, sources tell vanity fair that in the lead up king charles, who is also undergoing treatment for an unspecified form of cancer, was “very much looking forward” to the event, which

dickie arbiter, charles’s attendance was “non negotiable.” “you really cannot imagine trooping the colour without the monarch. i understand the king was determined to be at his birthday parade,” he

the parade from a window in buckingham palace, in her post yesterday she wrote that she “hope[s] to join a few public engagements this summer, equally knowing that i am not out of the woods yet.” it's

royal family, with 457 that's 32 more than king charles iii. so while the world is excited to see the princess of wales at a public engagement for the first time in roughly six months, kate herself is
