The details of Kate Middleton's first royal engagement surfaced unexpectedly on Tuesday, causing a stir just a day after her reappearance following a two-month hiatus.
The Ministry of Defence's official website accidentally released information regarding the Trooping The Colour event scheduled for Saturday, June 8th, 2024. The announcement mentioned the Princess of Wales' attendance at the annual event.
However, the revelation was unplanned, as Kensington Palace had not been consulted before the updates were shared. Consequently, the details were swiftly removed from the website, leading to confusion among the public.
Reports indicated that tickets for Trooping the Colour were being sold with Kate's image and a statement affirming her role as Colonel Irish Guards, although official confirmation from Kensington Palace was lacking.
The statement highlighted that Trooping the Colour, when reviewed by the Princess of Wales, closely mirrored the version overseen by His Majesty The King, with minor variations in the presence of additional mounted officers.
Typically, confirmation of senior royals' attendance at events occurs closer to the date. This disclosure marked the first public insight into Kate's royal duties since her scheduled abdominal surgery in January.
The timing of the news, emerging right after Kate's return to public view, added to its significance, underscoring the attention surrounding the Duchess's forthcoming engagements.
