In a car, in a carriage, on the Buckingham balcony: Princess Kate certainly wins the prize for the most photographed person on Saturday June 15. Absent from any official commitment since Christmas in order to follow preventive chemotherapy against cancer which she herself had announced in a video at the end of March, the wife of Prince William was warmly acclaimed by the public who came in large numbers to attend the parade military “Trooping the Color” organized every June.
