Kate Middleton is stepping out for a rare appearance amid her cancer treatment.
The Princess of Wales, 42, was photographed attending a service at Crathie Church on the Balmoral Estate on Sunday, Aug. 25, photos obtained by The Daily Mail show.
She was joined by her husband, Prince William, and the couple’s oldest child, son Prince George, for the daytime outing, which marked her first public appearance in over a month.
Kate wore a light brown outfit that she paired with a feather hat, while William, also 42, sported a navy suit.
The trio was reportedly joined by King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, plus their son, James Wessex, the outlet reported.
Princess Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis in March and shared that she was undergoing chemotherapy. At the time, she requested “time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.”
In a later update, the Princess of Wales said in a personal letter that “there are good days and bad days,” but she shared a hope to join “a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”
Since then, the royal has made a few public appearances amid her recovery, including Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon a month later.
Princess Kate did miss several royal events that are usually part of her calendar, however, including Garter Day, Royal Ascot and the Japan state visit to the U.K. She also appeared to stay home when Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday at Taylor Swift’s London stop of the Eras Tour on June 21 with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
