The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were unable to attend Lady Gabriella’s wedding, with Prince William, President of the Football Association, instead attending the FA Cup final which was on the same day. But the family warmed the hearts of the nation just after when playful footage of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was released by Kensington Palace. Royal fans are hoping it won’t be long before we see the Duchess of Cambridge and her children are seen in public again, but when will that be?
Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were seen playing around mum Kate’s “back to nature” themed garden at the Chelsea Flower show last week.
The adorable footage showed the children aged five, four and 13 months running about the garden, exploring and playing on the rope swing.
The precious video released by Kensington Palace showed the Cambridge family playing and laughing together, all with wide smiles on their faces.
Royal fans were enchanted by this footage and are now looking forward with frenzied excitement to when the Duchess of Cambridge and her children will next be seen in the public spotlight.

And, it may not be long before royal fans get their wish as the family including the three children are expected to attend Trooping the Colour next month.
Trooping the Colour takes place on Saturday, June 8 and marks the official birthday of Queen Elizabeth II and the event has celebrated the British Sovereign for more than 260 years.
Trooping the Colour is one of the staple events of the year and is attended by all of the royals.
Kate Middleton attended the event for the first time in 2011, shortly after their marriage in April.
Prince George attended for the first time in 2015, just before his second birthday, he had only been 10 months old for Trooping the Colour in 2014 and therefore was likely considered too young.
Whereas, Princess Charlotte attended the event in 2016 at a much earlier age, just 13 months old, having been born in May the previous year.
Kate Middleton and Prince William’s youngest son Prince Louis was born on April 23, 2018 and is therefore 13 months old.
Although Prince Louis was born at the time of the event last year, he was deemed too young to attend, being only six-weeks-old.
It is likely the youngest royal Cambridge child will appear on the balcony at the event this year given that he is now older than his sister Princess Charlotte was when she made her debut appearance.
The event will see 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together in a great display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare.
In the past, members of the Royal Family including Prince William, Prince Charles and Princess Anne have participated on horseback.
On the day of the celebration, the royals travel in procession via horse-drawn carriage from Buckingham Palace along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, Whitehall and back again.
The display closes with an RAF fly-past, watched by members of the Royal Family from the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Trooping the Colour will be broadcast live on the BBC
