This past weekend, the British royal family gathered for two significant events: the Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall on November 9 and the Remembrance Sunday service at The Cenotaph on November 10. These ceremonies honor the sacrifices of military personnel, and this year, all eyes were on the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.
Observers noted Kate's composed demeanor during the events. Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith remarked to PEOPLE, "She is doing it in her own way and at her own pace, and carefully." Kate's participation was confirmed just days before the ceremonies, highlighting her thoughtful approach to resuming public duties.
In January, Kate underwent abdominal surgery, during which cancer was detected.
She publicly shared her diagnosis on March 22 and completed chemotherapy by September 9. Since then, her public appearances have been limited, making this weekend's events particularly noteworthy.
While Kate's recent appearances are encouraging, Bedell Smith emphasized that this doesn't signify a full return to her royal schedule.
