Story

A small group of protesters booed the Princess of Wales' carriage during the Trooping the Colour celebrations at Buckingham Palace Mall. Republic, an anti-monarchist group, had planned to protest the parade, with signs reading "Not My King" seen among the crowd. Despite the protests, the rest of the mall cheered as senior royals greeted the public. The Princess of Wales made her first public appearance since undergoing cancer treatment in March, riding in a carriage with her children for the traditional procession through London. The protest group included former military members, but Republic CEO Graham Smith acknowledged the significance of Kate's attendance. Kate's public appearance at Trooping the Colour is her first official outing of 2024, as she continues to undergo treatment and will not return to full-time duties yet. Princess Beatrice provided an update on her mother's health, stating that the duchess was 'all clear' and 'doing really well'.
