The Princess of Wales, Kate, announced today that she is "making progress" on the road to recovery after treatment for cancer diagnosed in recent months and that she will be able to be present tomorrow, Saturday 15 June, at the celebration of Trooping the Colour, the birthday officer of King Charles III.
Kate is particularly expected on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional greeting of the British royals on the occasion of this holiday. It will be his first public event in almost seven months .
The message, signed "Catherine", arrived in writing through the social profiles of the British Royal Family, with previously unpublished and touching details about her battle. A battle, specifies the wife of the heir to the throne William, which remains to be won ; but which offers her at least the space for a truce, tomorrow, with the evident comfort of the doctors' opinion.
A day that will see Kate, alongside William and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, parade among the people waiting on the carriage that will follow that of Charles and Camilla in the traditional military parade scheduled in the heart of London for Trooping the Color ( event at which the sovereign will in turn be present in a carriage and not on horseback, as he is also undergoing treatment for a cancer of an unspecified nature). And then to the no less traditional greeting from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, alongside the other "senior" royals of the House of Windsor.
The message is accompanied by a photo by Matt Porteous, portrayed in the park of his residence in Windsor, in which the princess reappears in all her splendor: in jeans and a light jacket under a tree, with a hint of a smile on her face while look to the sky. "I'm not out of danger yet" , she writes bluntly in the text, pointing out that the treatments she is undergoing (with related limitations) are destined to continue for at least another few months. «As everyone who has gone through chemotherapy knows - he then says -, there are good days and bad days. On bad days you feel weak, tired, and you need to give your body a rest. But on good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling better ."
The public confession therefore becomes even more intimate. «I am learning - admits the princess - to be patient, especially in the face of uncertainty; taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and giving myself the time necessary to try to heal."
The hard times are not entirely behind us, as he reiterates with the caution of the Kensington Palace case, pointing out that today's announcement does not mean a full return to public life . But the announcement finally shows the first concrete glimmer of hope since, in January, the Princess of Wales was admitted to the London Clinic for a delicate abdominal surgery following which the cancer diagnosis would later emerge.
