The parade in London on Saturday marked Kate’s first official royal engagement since she announced that that she had been diagnosed with cancer back in March.
Princess Kate’s last public appearance was late last year on Christmas Day. She was diagnosed with cancer just days later after she underwent a planned abdominal surgery in January.
“Tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” Kate announced in March. “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
The princess began chemotherapy treatments in February and is “focused on making a full recovery” as she continues to battle the devastating and shocking disease.
