Buckingham Palace said that the Princess of Wales will join the royal family for several Remembrance events in London this weekend after completing her last round of chemotherapy. Organized for the Royal Albert Hall and the Cenotaph, it represents a significant return for the princess after her battle with cancer.
Annual Remembrance events, Sat’s Festival of Remembrance, and Sun’s Cenotaph ceremony are always greeted on annual appearances to pay for tributes to those British personnel who lost lives while on duty. This is the first consecutive day of public royal duties that she has been performing since she initiated treatment earlier this year.
She returns to public life as her husband, Prince William, reflects on a year of personal challenges. He spoke recently of the past several months, during which his wife and father were diagnosed with cancer, as “the hardest year” of his life. “I’m incredibly proud of my wife and father for handling the challenges they’ve faced,” he said following a visit to South Africa.
The king was diagnosed with cancer in February and is undergoing treatment. He will be attending the wreath-laying ceremony on Sunday. The attendance of the Queen is still uncertain since she was nursing a chest infection. She had canceled all her previous engagements and depended on her doctor’s advice.
The scheduled appearances by Princess Catherine have been considered hallmarks of her return to work as a member of the royal family. Just a month after announcing that she had completed chemotherapy, she provided hints of returning to work gradually by featuring in major events such as Trooping the Colour in June and an official visit to Southport in October.
The princess will leave her rehabilitation stay later this month as she resumes public duties – the first time since the accident, which happened in April last year and marked the beginning of the royal family’s efforts to honor military service.
