Kate hoping to make Cenotaph appearance and host annual Christmas carol concert

The Princess of Wales is hoping to join the royal family at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday and host her Christmas carol concert, according to reports.

Kate, who has undergone months of chemotherapy treatment for cancer, is “potentially” set to join the King on November 10 at the national service in Whitehall in honour of those who died in conflict, The Sunday Times said.

Planning is also said to be under way for her annual televised Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey in December, if she continues to have “more ‘good days’”, the newspaper revealed.

Kate, 42, has made two official public appearances since her diagnosis – attending Trooping the Colour in June and presenting the Wimbledon men’s trophy in July.

In an update ahead of Trooping, she said in a moving written message that she was making good progress but was “not out of the woods yet” and had “good days and bad days” as she continued her treatment.

A personal welcome message from Kate, who is joint president of the Scout Association, was posted on the Waleses’ official social media account.

Kensington Palace declined to comment.
