I was surprised to see Kate in the carriage – but when I saw her with her family it all made sense, says royal expert

A ROYAL expert has said she was surprised to see Princess Kate in the royal carriage for Trooping the Colour but it all made sense when she was seen with her family.

The Princess of Wales, 42, made a stunning return to royal duties when she appeared at Trooping the Colour, marking King Charles’ official birthday.

It is understood her appearance does not herald a return to front-line public duty or an end to Kate's cancer issues.

However, it is a positive step in the right direction after the mum began treatment at the end of February.

Hello’s royal editor Emily Nash told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show: “It was surprising to see how much she participated in the carriage procession because they’re not particularly enjoyable experiences.”

But, chatting to The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson, she added: “Seeing her with her children made it all become clear."
