Kate Middleton Sightings and When You Can Expect to See Princess Catherine Next

Kate Middleton sightings have been few and far between since Christmas 2023, but she's hinted we'll see more of her soon.

The first public appearance from Princess Catherine since her cancer diagnosis came on June 15, 2024, at the Trooping the Colour. It was a long-awaited moment, as Kate had been lying very low since her abdominal surgery and cancer diagnosis in January.

The Princess of Wales said in a June 14 announcement that she'd likely participate in some royal engagements over the summer depending on how she was feeling as she continues to undergo chemotherapy treatments. Here are the most recent Princess Catherine sightings so far.

Princess Catherine announced in an Instagram video on March 22, 2024, that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy for cancer.

She said that at the time of the surgery, it was believed her condition (which hasn't been disclosed) was non-cancerous, but that tests performed post-op indicated that "cancer had been present."

In the video, she said she had just begun undergoing the preventative chemotherapy treatments advised by her medical team.

March 17, 2024: There is a Kate Middleton sighting at a shop in Windsor with Prince William.

The Sun reported that Princess Catherine and Prince William were spotted watching their kids play sports, followed by a couple's trip to the Windsor Farm Shop.

“Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well," a witness told the outlet. "The kids weren't with them, but it's such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops."

A second witness told TMZ (which obtained video footage of the Waleses shopping), "I noticed a couple choosing loaves of bread and the woman turned her face and I felt like I had seen the face before. It was familiar. I knew it from somewhere. I went to my car and as they came out of the shop I just filmed them. I think they walked out through a gate out of the grounds. They just vanished and I didn't see a car. I just wanted to share with my family footage and show just how normal they were."
