Royal watchers breathed a collective sigh of relief this weekend as Kate Middleton made a rare public appearance alongside her family at Balmoral. The Princess of Wales, who has been undergoing treatment for cancer, joined Prince William and Prince George for a church service at Crathie Kirk, the royal family's traditional place of worship near Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
The photos, published by The Daily Mail, show a radiant Kate, looking stylish and composed in a feather-adorned hat and a chic brown ensemble. Prince William, ever the supportive husband, walked by her side, while a beaming Prince George, looking all grown up, accompanied his parents.
The couple's two younger children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were not present for the outing.
"She looks absolutely amazing," one royal watcher commented on social media. "It's so heartening to see her out and about with her family."
This marked Kate's first public appearance in over a month, putting to rest recent speculations about her health and whereabouts. The Princess had been noticeably absent from several high-profile events this summer, including Royal Ascot and a state visit from Japan, leading some to worry that her cancer battle was taking a toll.
