Britain's Princess of Wales is to carry out her first major engagement since her operation when she reviews Trooping the Colour, according to the British Army’s official website.
Tickets are being sold on the site for the military spectacle which will take place on June 8th, the weekend before the main Trooping the Colour ceremony – which is normally reviewed by the monarch.
The website names Britain's King Charles as attending the main Trooping ceremony – also known as the Birthday Parade, as it marks the sovereign’s official anniversary – with bookings now being taken for a ballot for tickets.
Charles is receiving treatment for cancer and Kate is recovering from abdominal surgery, but it is understood planning for major royal events continues, with organisers remaining flexible in the event of possible changes.
Kate has been spotted being driven close to her home in Windsor following huge speculation on social media about the state of her health.
It appears the UK Ministry of Defence hopes Kate will be well enough to attend one of the key ceremonial events in the armed forces’ year.
But only Kensington Palace, Kate’s official office, can announce her attendance at a royal event and confirmation is not expected until nearer the time.
Kate left hospital on January 29th and is recuperating at her Adelaide Cottage home close to Windsor Castle after undergoing abdominal surgery but is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter.
An image circulating online shows the princess, wearing sunglasses, sitting in the front seat of a car being driven by her mother, Carole Middleton.
Since his diagnosis, Charles has postponed all public-facing duties but is continuing with behind-the-scenes work on his red boxes of state papers and some in-person meetings.
Charles was pictured earlier during a pre-budget audience with British chancellor Jeremy Hunt at Buckingham Palace, ahead of the politician’s major financial statement on Wednesday.
