The Princess of Wales made her first public appearance of 2024 following her cancer diagnosis

The Princess of Wales's choice of outfit for her first public appearance in six months has been highlighted, as the Princess stepped out for this year's Trooping the Colour parade.

Princess Kate surprised royal fans on Friday evening after confirming that she would be attending the King's official birthday celebrations, as she continues to receive cancer treatment.


In a statement released to royal supporters, Kate said she was "looking forward to attending The King's Birthday Parade with my family" and hopes to "join a few public engagements over the summer".

Noting her ongoing preventative chemotherapy treatment, the Princess made clear she was "not out of the woods yet".

Princess Kate made her triumphant return with the arrivals of the Royal Family to Trooping the Colour, travelling with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The royal opted for a white Jenny Packham dress with black detailing, pairing the ensemble with a black bag, white shoes and a matching black and white hat.

Discussing the royal's outfit choice on GB News, host Ellie Costello highlighted the colour choice made by the Princess, and said her return to the royal spotlight is "extraordinary".

Reacting to the Wales family stepping out of their royal carriage, Andrew noted: "Prince Louis steps out first in shorts, Prince George looking very much the older brother.

"And there she is, the Princess of Wales. White shoes, white outfit, fabulous hat. She looks slim, but she's always slim."

Ellie echoed the thoughts of Andrew, adding: "She's always slim, she's always exquisite looking, absolutely beautiful. And a Jenny Packham dress. It's a white dress, white shoes, white hat with black detailing on there.

"And we do believe she's wearing an Irish Guard, the regimental brooch as well, of course."

Praising the Princess's choice to wear white for the occasion, Andrew suggested that Kate "wants to be seen" as she makes her poignant return to royal duty.

Andrew told GB News: "She was wearing white to make sure she's seen. And that was the Queen's maxim, wasn't it? Visibility.

"The Royal Family is about visibility as we see, and how wonderful it is to see the family together."

Noting the absences of certain members of the Royal Family, Ellie and Andrew also praised Lady Louise Windsor for making a return to the event, despite not being a working royal.

Andrew said: "There's no Prince Andrew, and no Prince Harry and Meghan."

Ellie added: "No there isn't, but it's very interesting that Lady Louise, not a working royal, was in that first carriage that we saw leaving Buckingham Palace, she has truly blossomed after the past few years.

"And we know how passionate she feels about horses and how passionate she feels about carriages. She had that in common, didn't she, with the late Duke of Edinburgh. They were very close."
