Kate Middleton beams on carriage ride with 3 kids during Trooping the Colour parade amid cancer battle

Kate Middleton’s comeback is underway.

Middleton, 42, was spotted on her way to the Trooping the Colour parade Saturday in a car with her husband, Prince William, and her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, by her side.

Middleton looked chic in a white dress accented by a black and white bow, white cluster earrings and a wide white hat.

Later on, she was seen riding in a carriage with her children following the one King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, were riding in.

As Page Six previously reported, Middleton is expected to watch the parade from the Major General’s Office with the rest of the family, including William.

She also plans to join the royal family for their annual photo op on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, but that is subject to change depending on her condition.

After not taking the salute at the traditional Colonel’s Review on June 8, Middleton was confirmed in May to serve as the honorary colonel of the Irish Guards, which are trooping its flag at the parade this year.

After speculation that she might not return to her royal duties while she continues her medical treatment, Middleton revealed she would be in attendance for King Charles III’s birthday parade on Friday.

“I’m looking forward to attending the king’s birthday parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet,” the Princess of Wales said in a statement.

She also shared two photos of her taken in Windsor, England, earlier this week.

“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal,” the statement continued.

The appearance marks her first public outing since she announced her cancer diagnosis in March.

She did not disclose the type of cancer she has, but she shared at the time that she had started undergoing chemotherapy treatment for the deadly disease which she described was still in its “early stages.”
