Kate Middleton makes her comeback

Kate Middleton chose a particularly important moment to make her return to the British: Armistice Day. This November 10, 2024, she was on the balcony of Whitehall, above the Cenotaph, a war memorial, alongside the british royal family.

This is the first appearance of the Princess of Wales since the announcement of the end of her chemotherapy, in a particularly moving video broadcast in September 2024. Regarding this “complex, frightening and unpredictable” journey, she explained: “ We had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and the unknown road” adding: “This period especially reminded William and I to reflect and be grateful for the simple but important things in life, which many from among we often take for granted. Simply loving and being loved.

She concluded: “My road to healing and full recovery is long. It is now my priority. Even though I have finished my chemotherapy I must continue to take each day as it comes.” specifying that he hopes to be able to return to work “in the coming months, as soon as I can”.

The symbol of Kate Middleton’s outfit

Now back for this important event, Kate Middleton opted like every year for a black outfit. It was hard not to notice the poppies that adorned her dress. This is an important symbol in England: these badges are made by veterans suffering from disabilities, and refer to the poem In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.

This year, instead of wearing just one poppy, Kate Middleton chose to wear 3. For some, this demonstrates her attachment to this tradition. For others, Prince William’s wife would pay tribute to Prince William’s great-grandmother, whose three brothers died during the First World War.
