Kate Middleton is soon to make a royal duty comeback, as the Princess herself announced her first public appearance in months. The last time we saw the Princess live was in a recorded video message where she opened up about her cancer battle. Now, she has confirmed that she will attend the Trooping the Colour parade, despite multiple reports suggesting she might not appear for the rest of the year. Amid this, Prince William had a touching reaction to finally seeing his wife return to her duties, which he had been juggling alone for the past few months.
