The Princess of Wales is all smiles as she joined her family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after taking part in the Trooping the Colour procession, her first public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer.

Waving and smiling to the crowds gathered, she was seen departing Buckingham Palace in a glass carriage alongside her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

During the ceremony, she viewed from a window with her children, before returning to the palace to view the RAF fly-past alongside King Charles. In a sweet moment, she can be seen grinning down at her youngest son, while pointing upwards at the aircraft flying over central London.

In a moving statement on Friday, Kate, 42, revealed that she has both good and bad days as she undergoes “preventative chemotherapy” for an undisclosed form of the disease.

Admitting that she is “not out of the woods yet”, the Princess said she has returned to light duties and helping her three children with their schoolwork when she feels well enough.

The Princess said she was looking forward to King Charles’s official birthday parade, which will be her first time appearing with the Royal Family since Christmas Day.
