Kate Middleton will attend Trooping the Colour, her first royal event in 2024

• Kate Middleton will attend the 2024 Trooping the Colour parade in London on Saturday. 
• The celebration in honor of King Charles' official birthday is Kate's first royal event in 2024.
• It marks the first time she's officially been seen in public since revealing her cancer diagnosis. 

Kate Middleton is set to attend her first royal event in 2024 this weekend, she announced on Instagram.

The Princess of Wales will join other senior members of the British royal family, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, at Trooping the Colour on Saturday. The annual event marks the sovereign's official birthday.

As part of the announcement, the palace shared a new photograph of Kate.

The event, which takes place at the Horse Guards Parade near Buckingham Palace, will mark the first time Kate has made an official public appearance since attending the traditional walk to a Church service in Sandringham, Norfolk on Christmas Day 2023.

Kate's return to the public eye also comes nearly four months after she announced that she has cancer and had been undergoing treatment preventative chemotherapy. She shared the news in a video released to the public on March 22.

The announcement followed months-long speculation about Kate's whereabouts and well-being after Kensington Palace announced in January that she had undergone "a planned abdominal surgery" and would likely be taking time to recover in private until Easter.

At the time, the palace did not share further details about the type of surgery Kate underwent and told the Associated Press that it was not cancer-related.

However, in her video to the public, Kate revealed that in tests following the procedure, her medical team found that "cancer had been present." She also said the results were a "shock" and that she and Prince William were doing what they could to "process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family."

"As I have said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body, and spirits," Kate said in the video.

In another press release shared with BI, Kensington Palace said that she would be returning to work "when she is cleared to do so by her medical team."

Kate's return to the public eye follows her father-in-law's. Charles is also undergoing treatment for cancer, discovered after he underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate in January. He first appeared in public in April.

As sovereign, Charles will be taking part in this year's Trooping the Colour, Buckingham Palace confirmed to the BBC.

However, the BBC reported he likely will be joining the festivities in a carriage instead of riding a horse like he did in 2023.
