According to royal commentator Katie Nicholl, Kate’s brave appearance at the Trooping the Colour ceremony has affected her health.

The royal expert continued: “She stood for a long time. There was a point where she was watching the parade… and she was offered a seat, which she gratefully accepted.”

“It’s just kind of a recognition that she’s not as strong or as fit as she was before she had this treatment,” Nicholl added.
