While at Trooping the Colour, Kate Middleton’s presence was a reflection of her vulnerability and resilience as she managed the difficulties of her cancer treatment. Ailsa Anderson, the Queen Elizabeth’s former press secretary said in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that being royal does not exempt Kate from going through emotional ups and downs that anyone else would in similar situations.

The princess of Wales returned to public duties on her 42nd birthday parade on June 15th looking strong; it was her first appearance in almost half a year. However, some insiders said that what she undergoes in terms of treatment is different each time and can be hard, posing severe side effects sometimes.

In all these struggles, Kate takes comfort from ordinary life habits shared with her family. In this difficult time, it is normal for Prince George who is only ten years old to as well as Princess Charlotte (9) and Prince Louis (6.) to become his source of stability and joy.

At the Trooping the Colour event, Kate showed that besides prioritizing health matters over royal obligations she had also decided to fulfil her duties as a queen. Her defiant response is highly indicative of her character, which implies more than just womanhood although she acts like a princess who loves her dear ones dearly when they are faced with personal issues that require stamina and courage.
