Kate Middleton, after her first public appearance in six months following a health scare, attended the Trooping the Colour parade alongside her three children.
The Princess of Wales, currently undergoing preventative cancer treatment announced in late March, appeared to be affected by the eventful Saturday, according to royal expert Katie Nicholl.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Nicholl noted that despite her health crisis, Kate "looked impeccable" as she understood "the eyes of the world are on her."
“There is a huge amount of scrutiny that will take its toll,” Nicholl explained. “I think we can probably imagine that she probably had a long and well-deserved rest afterwards.”
Nicholl described Kate as having a "swanlike quality" in public, but acknowledged the effort behind the scenes. “I can only imagine that a huge amount of preparation and time and effort and energy will have gone into Saturday’s appearance.”
Nicholl also mentioned that Kate was “on her feet for a long period of time” during the parade and accepted a seat offered to her, indicating that she may not be as physically strong as before her treatment.
“That’s just a bit of an acknowledgment that she is not as strong, not as fit, as she was before she went into this treatment,” Nicholl suggested.
The expert added that it might be some time before Princess Kate makes another public appearance, as she will need time to recover from the demands of the event.
