Kate Middleton will join the rest of the Royal Family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on Thursday, May 2 as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Kate Middleton, 40, is set to attend her 10th Trooping the Colour this year after the coronavirus pandemic cancelled the special event in 2020 and 2021.

The Duchess of Cambridge will join the Queen, her husband Prince William, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the flypast.

This year's Trooping the Colour is especially important as it is part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
