and for many London-orientated news-outlets, their so-called 'Journalists' take a holiday too. This means non
or semi-non time sensitive articles of alleged in interest can used from their respective or communal libraries.

Hence the increase of stories regarding the supposed 'woes' of TV Presenters, another class of society that
are assumed to be on a higher standing than their consumers. It's important to recall that news is what the
public is given, not the reality of everyday occurrences that may interest all of an audience.


However, due to the public's increasing distrust in the establishment media, major outlets have been very
careful to not enlarge on Princess Kate's illness and offer no opinion on the usual effects of combatting her
unspecified form of cancer.

So when the Princess of Wales appeared at the Trooping The Colour to celebrate the King's official birthday,
the narrative was kept light.

Quote:Kate returns to public events at Trooping the Colour

'Catherine, Princess of Wales has made her much-anticipated first public appearance of the year at the annual
Trooping the Colour parade. The princess, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, could be seen
smiling and waving from the Buckingham Palace balcony at the end of a ceremony filled with pomp and
pageantry.


Wig, Body-Double or just the internet doing what it does best?!!

King Charles III, who is also receiving treatment for cancer, travelled in a carriage, rather than on horseback.
Thousands waited in the heavy rain for one of the biggest events in the royal calendar. There were cheers from
the crowd as they caught their first glimpse of Catherine and the King heading from Buckingham Palace to
Horse Guards Parade.

The carriage procession was met by a sea of mobile phones, with people trying to catch a photograph of the
royals through the windows. The princess was pictured smiling, sitting alongside her children Prince George,
Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte - with six-year-old Louis giving a wave to the crowd.
The ceremonial event marks the King's official birthday and has been held for over 260 years.

It was Catherine's first public appearance since Christmas and in March she had revealed she was undergoing
chemotherapy treatment for cancer. In a statement released on Friday, the princess said she was "not out of
the woods yet", and had "good days and bad days", but was "looking forward to attending the King’s birthday
parade this weekend with my family".

In a change from last year, she watched the ceremony from a balcony with her children, instead of joining
other senior royals on a dais. Louis danced to a march by the Scots Guards, and was spotted yawning while
watching the parade. His sister, Charlotte, was seen wiping steam off their carriage's windows, as they made
their way back to Buckingham Palace.

The King, who also continues to have cancer treatment, travelled with Queen Camilla by carriage.
Since the general election was called last month, the palace has had to postpone some events which might
have been seen as a "distraction", but the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony went ahead. As the King's
carriage emerged from behind the Buckingham Palace gates, cheers could be heard from the watching crowd.
Prince William, Princess Anne and Prince Edward rode on horseback in military uniform...'
