Prince Harry and Meghan's 'powerful' message to the Firm with one move

Dazzling in a monotone dress with her glossy brunette hair swept back in an updo, Kate’s first appearance in almost six months looked like any other.

She seemed relaxed, joyful and healthy as she waved to the delighted crowds - who cheered the Princess on as she whizzed past them in a state carriage.

In a powerful image of solidarity, Kate and Charles stood shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the world’s watchful eye.

And here's some pretty amazing footage from the cockpit of a Red Arrows jet in formation as The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team flies over Buckingham Palace.

The broadcaster took to Twitter, posting a photo of Princess Kate smiling at Trooping the Colour along with a sweet message.

He captioned the image: "Great to see the Princess of Wales back on duty at Trooping of the Colour, and looking so glamorous."

The Prince and Princess of Wales have issued a thank you message on social media after the King's Birthday Parade.

Charity leaders have said seeing the Princess of Wales return to public life may "inspire" other people who are managing the challenging effects of cancer treatment.

Princess Kate looked relaxed during her first day in the spotlight on Saturday since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March as she took part in the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony.

In a statement released on Friday, Kate said she is making "good progress" and experiencing "good days and bad days" as she undergoes chemotherapy.

A Macmillan Cancer Support spokesman said: "It's an absolute pleasure to see her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales' at Trooping the Colour today.

"As her Royal Highness said in her comments yesterday, cancer treatment can come with both good days and bad days, and I'm sure her attending the event will inspire so many people around the world who are managing the challenging effects of cancer treatment."

James, Earl of Wessex was notably absent from Trooping the Colour, despite his older sister, Lady Louise Windsor making a welcome appearance.

James, 16, is currently studying at school in Surrey and it's most likely that his busy schedule, revision, and end-of-year exams prevented him from travelling down to central London.

Royal fans have been quick to point out an astonishing resemblence between Prince William during today's Trooping the Colour and his grandfather, Prince Philip.

The late Queen made a 'remarkable' break from Royal protocol to honour the late Princess Diana at her funeral, a gesture that continues to be fondly remembered by royal enthusiasts.

As explained in a TikTok video shared by @royalnewsdaily, the late Queen "slightly tilted her head" as Princess Diana's coffin passed Buckingham Palace. This act broke tradition as the monarch is not supposed to bow her head to anyone of lower rank.

Meghan Markle won't be thinking about the Royal Family's schedule to time the hard launch of her lifestyle brand as she is a "relevant figure" who is currently seeing her "popularity increasing", a PR expert has claimed.

Under a strict royal rule, Prince Louis must wear shorts while attending public events while his brother Prince George can wear trousers.

The style choice stems from a time-honoured aristocratic dress code that will see the youngest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales wear shorts until he's eight years old.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been brutally savaged by a royal commentator who claimed nobody would miss their absence on the Buckingham Palace balcony at Trooping the Colour because they are "old news".

US-based royal commentator Kinsey Schofield discussed the couple's declining influence as royals and their absence from this year's King's Birthday parade.

She told TalkTV: "They [Harry and Meghan] will not be missed [at Trooping the Colour].

"It will look gorgeous. It will look glamorous. We're all going to cheer on the Royal Family and nobody is going to notice that these two aren't on the balcony. They're old news."

Kensington Palace has released footage of Princess Kate, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince George getting ready for Trooping the Colour.

One clip appears to show the family waiting for a carriage to take them from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade for one of the highlights of the royal calendar.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be attending today's grand celebrations for King Charles's birthday as Britain gets ready to enjoy the monarch's second Trooping the Colour.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were snubbed for a second year in a row after they were not invited to the traditional annual event, according to People magazine.

Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte had a sibling moment during today's Trooping the Colour ceremony, according to a lip reader.

The Prince and Princess of Wales's children joined their parents at the King's birthday celebrations and watched the parade from a balcony after travelling there by carriage.

Prince Louis is back to his cheeky antics today, as he was seen yawning during the Trooping the Colour parade.

The six-year-old royal appeared to be bored by the display of pomp and pageantry at Horse Guards Parade, and was also spotted playing with a blind cord. 

Prince William has appeared on horseback at this year's Trooping the Colour, signalling a clear message about the future of the monarchy.

The King, who is currently undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, has appeared in a carriage due to his health - although last year he impressively appeared on horseback.

Prince Louis has joined in the celebrations today to mark Trooping the Colour in London.

The young royal is known for his cheeky antics and he didn't disappoint as he made his first official public appearance since last year.

Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, have stolen the show at this year's Trooping the Colour as they smiled and waved to crowds.

The royal siblings looked delighted to be a part of the King's birthday parade today, as they travelled from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade in the Glass State Coach.

Today King Charles and senior royals will be out in full force to celebrate the historic Trooping the Colour.

This is the second official birthday celebration for Charles, who has had a tumultuous year so far following his cancer diagnosis.

Charles will celebrate his 76th birthday on November 14th, but monarchs historically hold an official celebration in the summer to make the most of the weather. To celebrate, more than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will line the Horse Guards Parade.

Trooping the Colour takes place annually in London and is one of the most recognisable ceremonial events in the royal calendar.

It features an impressive display of pomp and pageantry, with thousands of troops parading down the capital’s iconic Mall.

Princess Kate says she is “making good progress” as she reveals she will be attending Trooping the Colour tomorrow despite her ongoing cancer battle.

In an incredibly open and honest message, the Princess of Wales revealed her innermost thoughts and fears that she’s “not out of the woods yet”.

Kate added that she has “good days and bad days” while she continues to undergo preventative chemotherapy, explaining that during the latter she is left “weak and tired”.

But when she is well enough she can focus on the things that give her joy, most notably her family and her work.
