Why Kate Middleton's Trooping the Colour Appearance Is a 'Positive' Surprise (Exclusive)

Kate Middleton announced on Friday she'll make her first public appearance in six months. She also offered a rare health update.

The Trooping of the Colour -- a 260-year tradition marking the monarch's official birthday celebration that includes a massive parade comprised of soldiers, horses and musicians -- is embedded in the fabric of British society, much like crumpets and tea in the afternoon. William recently visited Normandy, where alongside President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other dignitaries, he attended a ceremony to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day at Juno Beach. Trooping the Colour is annually a global event, but with Kate announcing she'll be attending -- which will will mark her first public appearance in six months -- the world will now be watching even more intensely.
