London CNN —Catherine, Princess of Wales is to take part the Trooping the Colour celebration on Saturday - the King’s official birthday parade - in what will be her first public appearance since revealing her cancer diagnoses.
The Princess of Wales - also known as Kate - will watch the rest of the parade with her family nearby, and is expected to join fellow royals on the balcony.
The event - one of the highlights of the royal calendar - is a tradition marking the official birthday of the British sovereign for more than 260 years.
Britain’s Kings and Queens have doubled up on their festivities since the 18th century, holding both a public celebration – the official birthday – and a more private event on the real date.
Three of the British Army’s horses which bolted across in London in April have returned to duty and are expected to take part in this weekend’s birthday parade.

London CNN —Catherine, Princess of Wales, will not be returning to royal duties with an appearance at the Colonel’s Review, a military parade in London in early June, as she continues her treatment for cancer.
It is not yet clear if Kate will also miss that annual military spectacle – a highlight of the royal calendar full of pomp and pageantry – at Horse Guards Parade in the British capital.
Following the announcement, a royal source told CNN that she would not be returning to frontline royal duties until she has been cleared to do so by her medical team.
There had also been speculation over whether King Charles would participate in next month’s Trooping the Colour as he continues his own cancer treatment.
Charles announced his own cancer battle in February but recently resumed public-facing royal engagements as he continues his treatment.

There are many associations that come to mind with the Kentucky Derby.
But to be a true participant in the Derby spectacle, one needs a proper Derby hat.
The tradition for wearing eye-catching attire to America’s most famous horse race began in the 1870s.
The founder of the Kentucky Derby, Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., was inspired by the fashionable dress codes at events like Ascot in Britain and Paris’s Grand Prix.
Creating his own, he figured, would transform his racetrack from a place of ill-repute to one for well-heeled high society.

LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Insurers used to get heat for underwriting fossil fuels.
Membership of bodies like the Net-Zero Insurance Alliance (NZIA) was supposed to mean financial groups would cease supporting oil, gas and coal, speeding the pace of decarbonisation.
Similarly, five of the Lloyd’s insurance market’s managing agents – RiverStone, Chaucer, RenaissanceRe, Ascot and Aegis – have not implemented any restrictions on fossil fuels.
Insurers have even fewer qualms about supporting oil and gas.
Governments have made energy security a key priority since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and can reasonably argue that abrupt halts to backing fossil fuels will just mean higher energy prices.

LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Lloyd's of London insurer Ascot is once again quoting on its cargo insurance facility for the Black Sea grain corridor, the facility's lead underwriter said on Wednesday.
Ascot said on Monday it was suspending the cover after Moscow suspended its participation in the U.N.-brokered grains export deal.
Russia said on Wednesday it would resume its participation in the grain deal.
Other insurers also provide cover through the facility.
