Kate Middleton maintains her Remembrance Day appearance streak despite recent battle with cancer

Kate Middleton made a second appearance this weekend since announcing she has completed preventative chemotherapy for cancer as she continues her return to royal duties.

On Sunday, the Princess of Wales stood on the balcony above London’s Cenotaph war memorial as part of the country’s National Service of Remembrance.

Middleton has never missed a service since marrying Prince William in 2011.

The 42-year-old sat alongside Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, as she watched King Charles III and Prince William lay wreaths in tribute to those who lost their lives in the military.

At the event, which is part of the UK’s Remembrance Weekend, which celebrates members of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces community and honors fallen soldiers, Middleton watched the concert from the balcony with other members of the royal family.

During Saturday’s concert, she paid tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana by wearing a pair of Collingwood pearl earrings, as well as the sapphire and diamond engagement ring that Diana once owned.
