Speculation over when Catherine, Princess of Wales will return to official royal duties continues this week after expectations were raised by an unlikely source: the British Army. <\/p>\n

The UK Ministry of Defence put tickets for its annual Trooping the Colour parades on sale on its website on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Trooping the Colour is the military spectacle performed by hundreds between Buckingham Palace and Horse Guards Parade each summer. <\/p>\n

Tickets were advertised to the public with appearances from both 42-year-old Kate and King Charles III on June 8 and 15, respectively. Cue delight from royal-watchers over confirmation of the royals\u2019 first public appearances since their health scares, <\/strong>followed by a wave of concern that the princess would take that long to return. <\/p>\n

Except it seems the Army didn\u2019t get sign-off from Kensington Palace over Kate\u2019s appearance. <\/p>\n

The palace, which handles the princess\u2019 diary, had not yet confirmed if she would be reviewing the Irish Guards. The regiment is trooping its color \u2013 presenting its regimental flags \u2013 this year and it would appear the army jumped the gun in assuming Kate would be attending in her honorary capacity as colonel of the Irish Guards. <\/p>\n

Uncertainty persisted for hours until the claim was pulled down from the army\u2019s website on Tuesday evening. The King\u2019s attendance for the event on June 15 \u2013 which is also known as the sovereign\u2019s birthday parade \u2013 remains listed on the website where the public can enter an online ballot for tickets. <\/p>\n

Both royals have temporarily suspended public engagements. Kate is out of action until after Easter, while Charles has stepped back as he receives treatment for cancer. The King is continuing his constitutional responsibilities and was pictured this week with Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt at Buckingham Palace ahead of the UK government\u2019s budget statement on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The public also got the first sighting of Kate since her January operation after she was spotted in Windsor, just outside London, <\/strong>this week. <\/p>\n

The princess was seen wearing dark sunglasses and sitting in the front passenger seat of a vehicle driven by her mother, Carole Middleton. <\/p>\n

The other consideration is that while we know Kate\u2019s operation was not cancer-related, we don\u2019t know how serious her condition is or what stage of recovery she is at. <\/p>\n

The existence of the photograph did, however, quash some of the wilder rumors and conspiracy theories circulating recently on social media about the princess\u2019 health and whereabouts. <\/p>\n

The palace is facing mounting public pressure to share more information about the future Queen, but it has taken a firm line on protecting her privacy. For the family, it\u2019s a deeply personal question around how much of their individual freedoms to give up in the public interest. <\/p>\n\n
