In a move that would make any Disney princess proud of their royal resilience, Princess Kate of Wales is set to make her first public appearance at Trooping the Colour since her cancer diagnosis. For those asking if she's biting off more than a royal mouthful, the duchess assures us she's "not out of the woods yet," even if her schedule suggests otherwise (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS, Fox).

After undergoing abdominal surgery back in January, Kate's cancer diagnosis was revealed in March (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS). Fast-forward a few grueling months of chemotherapy, and she's proving that chemo can't keep a good duchess down. Kate recently shared on social media that she has her "good days and bad days," eloquently framing the rollercoaster ride that chemotherapy tends to be (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS, Fox).

Still, chemotherapy continues, and the royal doctors have mapped out a few more months of treatment. But don't expect the duchess to keep herself wrapped in blankets and binge-watching Netflix documentaries all day. No, she'll be making several public appearances over the summer, as if to say, "Cancer, you've met your match" (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS).

In preparation for her public comeback, the princess acknowledges the journey isn’t over. “I’m not out of the woods yet,” she admitted—news that reportedly caused an existential crisis among actual forest rangers, who fretted about metaphorical foliage (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS, Fox).

Kate has also shared that the public's overwhelming support and messages of encouragement have helped both her and Prince William through these tough times (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS).

Adding a deeper shade of worry to the royal palette, King Charles III himself was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and has also been undergoing treatment (NBC, CNN, CBS). It's evident that the Buckingham Palace healthcare plan is working overtime these days.

Returning to Trooping the Colour, Kate's grand re-entry involves not just a carriage ride alongside her children but a balcony appearance to wave at commoners who, let's face it, wouldn't know a royal protocol if it handed them a scone (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS).

Throughout this ordeal, Kate has displayed remarkable fortitude which, undoubtedly, will be on full display during Trooping the Colour. The duchess personifies strength, courage, and the unique ability to make chemotherapy look only slightly less glamorous than donning jewels for a state dinner (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS).

As the Trooping the Colour ceremony approaches, all eyes will be on Princess Kate. Her participation transcends the realm of mere duty, standing as a powerful testament to human resilience. The event will not only pay tribute to the Queen’s official birthday but also highlight Princess Kate’s triumphant spirit amidst her ongoing battle. While she readily admits she's "not out of the woods yet," her journey through these metaphorical forests continues to inspire many (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS).

So, when you see Kate at Trooping the Colour, remember this: while she might not be out of the woods, she's had brunch with Hansel and Gretel and will probably befriend Bambi before she's done. The duchess is a beacon of resilience, ready to wave at cheering crowds, all while giving cancer a royal boot (NBC, CNN, Sky, CBS).
