In a completely unexpected move, Kensington Palace came out yesterday with a surprise statement with statements from Kate Middleton and a new photo. The most relevant of all;
announced its presence today at Trooping The Color, the parade that unites her with the Windsor family every June to celebrate the king’s birthday. Obviously, this pack of good news has not appeared for no reason. It is also quite extensive in information.
The Princess of Wales explains herself generously. “I’m making a lot of progress, but as anyone who has gone through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” she says.
“In the
bad you feel weak, tired and you have to let your body rest. But on good days, when you’re stronger, you want to make the most of feeling good,” Kate Middleton wrote on her official Instagram profile. «I am under treatment and
I will continue like this for a few months further. When I feel well enough, I am happy to stay on top of my children’s school life, spend time doing what gives me energy and optimism, and even work a little from home.
“I want to attend the king’s birthday parade this weekend, with my family, and perhaps a few more dates over the summer, even knowing that I am not out of the woods yet,” announced the Princess of Wales. «
I’m learning to be patient, especially in the face of uncertainty. Going day by day, listening to my body and taking all the time I need to heal.
The non-verbal language of Kate Middleton’s photo
Much of what he wrote on his Instagram account is in the photo that stars in the publication,
a scenography so dreamlike that it can seem from another world, to put it with a euphemism. Some commentators on social networks stated this: the green forest in which Kate Middleton poses
It seems like that divine paradise which anyone would like to enter. Patricia Centeno, an expert in political communication and fashion, did a more detailed analysis on her X profile.
«Look to the left (future) and head raised (optimism/hope). Focused on tomorrow being good,” explains Centeno. «While there is some shine in his eyes (illusion) and he smiles with them;
the corners of his lips point downwards (discomfort/sadness). Crossing of arms and feet (protection). Keep showing
reluctant to show (privacy/respect during treatment). The feet, unlike the head, point forward (present). “Day by day, step by step, is very important for a cancer patient.”
“In nature (life), surrounded by green (hope), river/water (vital transit) and light (energy),” continues Patricia Centeno. «Leaning on a tree with a resistant trunk (strength) and leafy (personal growth). With jeans and sneakers, but with a blazer (
more professional than with the jersey in the video with whom he announced that he had cancer and needed privacy). “Diana of Wales’s engagement ring and pearl earring take center stage.”
Why does Kate Middleton give so many explanations?
Beyond this staging, the second in which we see a convalescent Kate Middleton, it is worth contextualizing the moment in which she appears, since Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace, the offices of the princes of Wales and the British monarchs, are characterized by

It seems that someone has learned the lesson at Kensington Palace or, perhaps, in the royal family itself, since this statement from
Kate Middleton via Instagram stops a certain escalation of rumors regarding the state of health of the Princess of Wales, with new statements from third parties indicating that her condition is serious. Obviously, the published photo allows us to rule out this possibility.
The rumor that had been taking shape throughout the week claimed that Kate Middleton was receiving cancer treatment in a hospital in Texas, although other information of dubious origin claimed that she had been seen in a hotel in Houston, where the hospital is located. famous MD Anderson Cancer Center hospital.
Kensington Palace denied this rumor quickly, but evidently they wanted to nip their flight in the bud with a personal statement from the future queen.
The
appearance of the entire royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace could not be more significant. It is an event that requires minimal effort and rewards with maximum virality, in which the time and distance at which to view Kate Middleton can also be limited. From Buckingham Palace, it has already been reported that King Charles is “delighted” with the presence of his daughter-in-law. The Princess of Wales has already warned: her appearances will be counted.
