Though there’s plenty of question marks regarding Kate Middleton at the moment, not least what caused the “abdominal procedure” that will see her out of action until after Easter, there’s been an update sure to be of interest to all those out there who think of themselves as royal fans.
According to reports, the Princess of Wales’ first official engagement since her surgery has been announced, and is due to take place on June 8.
Hello! say that on that date Kate will review Trooping the Colour, one week before the main event takes place.
A statement on the official Household Division website reads: “Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales is identical to Trooping the Colour reviewed by His Majesty The King, with the exception that some additional mounted officers ride when His Majesty The King is present.
“Taking part will be over 1400 soldiers of the Household Division and The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, including 400 musicians from the Massed Bands, all of whom will parade on Horse Guards for the second of two formal Reviews.”
