Kate’s return to the spotlight Saturday at Trooping the Colour was nothing short of magnificent. We have not seen her at a live event since December of 2023—almost seven months—which certainly makes it the longest absence from public life for her in well over a decade.
I thought she looked fantastic. I was telling my husband, I cannot remember a Trooping during Kate’s time in the family when it rained and they had to use covered coaches. Can anyone fact check me on that? Thinking back, I can only remember the open-air images of them. In any event, as disappointing as rain was—and especially so for those of you on the ground—it did make for dramatic and memorable pictures, which is always nice.
Seeing her reunited in public with William and their children provided quite the emotional picture, too.
There seemed to be some confusion about what color the children’s clothes were—a number have messaged asking if they were in green.
