Saturday saw Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, make her first public appearance of the year.
The 42-year-old – who is currently battling cancer – announced that she would be appearing the previous day.
“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family. And hope to join a few public engagements over the summer. But equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet,” she said in a statement.
The future Queen arrived at the ceremony in a black car, just before 10am. She was seen dressed in white, with a black and white hat.
Later, during the ceremony, she was seen sitting in a carriage with her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, waving to the crowd.
After that, the Princess left her carriage and went to watch the ceremony on a balcony with her children.

However, whilst fans were rightly thrilled to see Kate back in a public-facing role, many were left distracted by her son, Prince Louis.
Over the last few years, Prince Louis has developed a reputation for his antics during royal events. Who could forget his hilarious reactions and funny faces during the Queen’s jubilee in 2022?
According to a lip reader, Louis had a burning request to mum Kate as they watched a military parade from the palace. Apparently, Louis seemed interested in a beaded blind cord found next to the window.
Nicola Hickling told the Mirror that Louis asked his mum: “Can I play with the beads?” to which the princess firmly replied: “No. I need you to concentrate on the parade.”
Prince Louis antics
Meanwhile, at one point during the ceremony on Saturday, Louis could be seen playing with the curtain string as he watched the proceedings. He also let out a big yawn at one point.
Later in the ceremony, Louis began dancing, much to fans delight.
“Haha think little Louis is tired,” one fan tweeted as Louis let out a yawn.
“Prince Louis stealing the show as always. His big sister doesn’t look impressed,” another fan tweeted.
“I love how Prince Louis is full of personality. That little dance!” a third gushed.

Princess Charlotte tries to keep Louis in line
While watching the parade, and Louis’ dancing, Nicola also picked up on Charlotte telling her little brother to behave himself.
Nicola told the Mirror that as Louis danced, Charlotte appeared to tell him: “You have to stop doing that. Watch the parade,” to which he replied: “I won’t.”
Charlotte added: “Do as you’re told,” but her brother responded: “Nope.”
