- Kate's public return post-treatment
- Unnoticed curtsy sparks royal protocol talk
- Kate's gradual return to royal duties
Princess Kate made a notable return to her royal duties, showcasing elegance and poise as she joined King Charles and Prince William in welcoming Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sheikha Jawaher at Horse Guards Parade in London. This appearance marked her first significant public engagement since completing her cancer treatment.
The Princess, adorned in a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen coat and a Sahar Millinery hat, completed her look with the late Queen Elizabeth II's pearl necklace, exuding regal charm. However, an unexpected moment occurred when Kate's perfect curtsy went unnoticed by King Charles, who inadvertently turned away, leaving royal fans buzzing on social media.
Unnoticed Curtsy Sparks Royal Protocol Talk
The ceremonial welcome took an awkward turn as Kate's curtsy to King Charles went unseen, leading to discussions on royal protocol. One observer noted on Instagram, "This is how a perfect curtsy looks like. Princess Catherine is a master of it!" Yet, others pointed out, "They didn't even look at her." The incident highlighted the complexities of royal etiquette, where curtsies and bows are integral. Despite the mishap, another royal enthusiast remarked, "It was to Charles. And she does it not to receive acknowledgment. It’s to show respect and follow protocol."
Kate's Gradual Return to Royal Duties
Following the ceremonial event, Kate attended a private lunch at Buckingham Palace, viewing a display of Qatari artifacts. Her presence at the state visit signifies a cautious yet positive step forward in her return to public life. A royal source described her attendance as "good news," indicating her slow but steady recovery. Having announced her cancer diagnosis in March, Kate recently expressed relief after completing chemotherapy, acknowledging the challenges faced by her family.
Kate's return to royal engagements is gradual, with plans to host her annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey. This event will see her joined by Prince William and their children, marking another significant public appearance for the Princess. As she continues to balance her recovery with royal duties, Kate remains committed to her family and health, underscoring the complexity and unpredictability of her journey.
