With both King Charles and his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, undergoing treatment for cancer, this year has presented unprecedented challenges for the royal family.

In the midst of such difficult times, the anticipation for uplifting Royal occasions like Trooping the Color has grown significantly.

As the 2024 Trooping ceremony approaches, Royal watchers are speculating whether Princess Katherine and her three children will attend the event.

The absence of Princess Katherine’s name from the review on June 1st and the announcement of her missing the Trooping the Color dress rehearsal on June 8th due to her ongoing cancer treatment have fueled speculation about her attendance on June 15th.

Prince William, when questioned, continues to reassure the public that his wife is doing well, albeit without providing further details. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Princess’s attendance, a decision on whether her three children will be present at the ceremony has reportedly been made.

According to multiple reports, the Princess of Wales’s children are expected to join other Royals on the balcony as part of their grandfather’s birthday celebration. The trio, who have been a staple at the event since 2019, usually arrive with their mother and Queen Camilla. However, this year, there is speculation that they could be accompanied by their grandparents instead.

Royal Butler Grant Herold weighed in on the decision, noting that while it’s not unusual for a monarch to ride in a carriage, as Queen Elizabeth did in her later years, it could signal a permanent shift away from horseback riding for the King due to health concerns.

Meanwhile, there has been no official announcement regarding the progress of Princess Katherine’s treatment or when she might return to the public eye. Rumors suggest her potential absence until fall 2024, depending on her response to treatment and recovery process.

The Princess of Wales has been undergoing chemotherapy, although details about her diagnosis, stage, and treatment plan remain undisclosed. Despite her absence, the royal family continues to maintain a unified front amidst these challenging times.

Last June, only working Royals and their families were seen on the balcony, but some believe this year should mark a return to the former tradition of inviting all members of the extended royal family. A full balcony display would uplift the nation and demonstrate the monarchy’s unity and strength during this difficult period.
