Princess Kate Will Miss This Upcoming Royal Event Rehearsal Amid Cancer Battle: Report

The Princess of Wales will not carry out her role in an upcoming rehearsal for Trooping of the Colour.

Last week, a spokesperson for Kensington Palace noted that the Princess of Wales, 42, is still committed to her duties — primarily her Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood — despite not being able to attend public events at the moment. “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” she explained at the time. “My work has alway brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I’m able,” she said, before concluding, “But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”
