WHEN it was announced that Prince William was going to next week’s D-Day commemorations without Catherine, it made me wonder if she would be fit enough to attend Trooping the Colour rehearsal.

Even when you are fully fit, the Colonel’s Review is quite a difficult day getting in and out of carriages and later appearing on the balcony at Buckingham Palace with her family.

If you are not well the day in the spotlight when you have to look your best can be quite gruelling and daunting.

Treatment for cancer is extremely tiring and Catherine may well have thought she could not cope with at this stage of her recovery.

She is a wonderful ambassador for our country but it is only right that she takes her time and gets properly better and does not rush back to work.

It would be lovely if we did see her at Royal Ascot or in the VIP box at Wimbledon this summer.

But if we don’t see her in public until the autumn, I for one am happy to wait however long it takes for Kate to get well.
