Britain’s Kate to attend first event after cancer treatment

Reuters:

LONDON, June 15 – Kate, Britain’s Princess of Wales, is due to make her first public appearance on Saturday since surgery five months ago revealed the presence of cancer, saying she was making good progress through treatment but was “not out of the woods”.

Kate has undergone preventative chemotherapy since the cancer announcement, and while treatment is ongoing, her improved health means she will be able to appear in public for the first time since last December.

She is set to accompany her three children in a carriage during “Trooping the Colour”, an annual military parade held in central London to mark the monarch’s official birthday.

She will also join King Charles, Queen Camilla and the other senior family members on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, the high-profile pinnacle of the event.

Kate spent two weeks in hospital in January after she underwent major abdominal surgery, and two months later she announced in a video message that tests had revealed the presence of cancer, and she would begin preventative chemotherapy.
