The royals were one big happy family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace as the Princess of Wales made an emotional appearance.
This was a brave return to public life for Catherine, who had been battling cancer for the past three months.
She didn’t have to be in Trooping the Color and no one would blame her for staying away.
But she still decided to participate.
It is a measure of how much her duty and family mean to her.
I have not seen the Princess of Wales in person since her last public engagement at Christmas, more than six months ago.
Yesterday she looked very well and, most importantly, very healthy.
While the photo released by Kensington Palace on Friday was a festive snap, Catherine was beaming with joy yesterday – her smile sure to warm the hearts of the nation.
Accompanied by William, who was single-handedly supporting his ailing wife and her adorable children, the whole group looked relaxed and united on one of the most important days of the year for the royal family.
It was also nice to see Catherine exchanging words with her father-in-law King Charles.
They both fought hard to return to their duties, and even through the long lens you can see that they have a genuine warmth for each other.
The only drawback was the classic British weather.
It was cold.
It was wet.
My jacket and camera were wet.
Next Thursday will be the longest day of the year, but the heavy rain has made me feel like I’m in the middle of January.
However, the moment the princess appeared to wave and smile, it was worth enduring the downpour.
There were plenty of elegant outfits on display – it was a military parade after all – but the Princess of Wales’ stunning white dress was a cut above the rest.
Almost all the cameras there were pointed at her and she chose a dress with exceptional taste that could be seen by thousands of well-wishers in The Mall.
This was a remarkable comeback by a remarkable woman and I’m sure it would mean the world to have her family by her side.
So it’s no surprise that she didn’t stop smiling the whole time.
