The young royals were the picture of pride today during their mom Kate Middleton’s first public outing since her cancer diagnosis, as noted by a body language specialist.

On Saturday Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and little Prince Louis couldn’t hide their delight during the Trooping of the Colour parade, smiling and waving beside Duchess Kate on The Mall while riding in a state carriage. The Royal siblings have made their debut as a trio this year for a significant occasion. Amidst cheers, nine-year-old Charlotte was radiantly smiling while six-year-old Louis energetically waved to well-wishers. Their father, Prince William was on horseback, taking part in the military parade.

Analyzing snaps of the family from King Charles’ birthday parade, body language guru Judi James commented to The Mirror: “The signals of intense pride tinged with excitement from her children came as they exited the carriage before their mother to form what looked like a little guard of honor line-up, watching as she stepped carefully down at which point they turned to walk in before her.”

This marks a high point after some time away from public view. The siblings were last spotted together during Christmas Day festivities with the Royal Family at Sandringham, just prior to Princess Kate’s hospitalization for abdominal surgery. Fresh off yesterday’s health update, Kate joined the grand celebration alongside her kin for the King’s official birthday.

During the event, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis beamed with joy, evidently full of admiration for their courageous mom as they embraced the limelight. Body language expert Judi concluded that Kate had made a concerted effort to minimize drawing attention to herself, knowing that many turned up to see her attending King Charles’ birthday parade

Judi explained: “Kate’s appearance looked subtle and as low-impact as possible given the nation if not the world has been waiting for this moment to welcome her back,” and added: “Kate’s hat brim made this first appearance since Xmas a discreet one, as though she was keen to avoid upstaging the King on his birthday celebrations. The smile was still visible in glimpses and there were a few speedy waves but her upright back created an enduringly regal impression in the carriage as they rode to the parade ground.”

Kate sported a monochrome number for the occasion – a snow-white dress adorned with a pure black trim and tie. She appeared to have coordinated her outfit with that of her daughter, Princess Charlotte, who wore a black dress with a bone-colored tie. The pair were seen shortly after leaving Buckingham Palace in a horse-drawn carriage, following behind King Charles and Queen Camilla as part of the Trooping the Colour parade.

This comes one day after Princess Kate released a statement relating to her ongoing cancer battle, alongside a stunning new photo of the royal posing outside. In her health update, she admitted that she was going through harder times as she admitted: “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.”
