The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has made a rare public appearance as she and husband Prince William joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at Crathie Church in Scotland.
The future queen of England was spotted today, Sunday, August 25, in the passenger seat of a car that had Prince William behind the wheel. Young Prince George was also seen in the vehicle’s back seat.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were also spotted as they made their way to the church, while the King’s youngest brother, Prince Edward travelled in a different vehicle.
As the monarch and the royal contingent made their way into the church, they were greeted by a guard of honour made up of pipers from the Scottish Balaklava company.
This marks the fourth time Kate has been seen in public since she stepped down from royal duties while she recovers from cancer treatment.
It’s understood the mum-of-three has spent the summer with William and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The 42-year-old made her first public appearance since revealing her diagnosis in March, at Trooping the Colour for King Charles’ birthday celebrations in June this year.
She received a standing ovation as she made her way to her centre court seats in Wimbledon, before handing over the competition winner’s trophy to Carlos Alcaraz in July.
In just her third public appearance of the year, the avid sportswoman appeared next to her husband to congratulate Team GB on their Paris Olympic efforts.
Ahead of her Trooping the Colour appearance, Kate released a statement discussing her recovery. She said: “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.
“On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
