Catherine, Princess of Wales, pleased royal fans across the world with her return to public life at Trooping the Colour on Saturday, June 15.

"And there she is, the Princess of Wales," broadcaster Andrew Pierce observed on GBN. "White shoes, white outfit, fabulous hat. She looks slim, but she's always slim."

"She's always slim, she's always exquisite looking, absolutely beautiful," co-host Ellie Costello observed. "And a Jenny Packham dress. It's a white dress, white shoes, white hat with black detailing on there. And we do believe she's wearing an Irish Guard, the regimental brooch as well, of course."

Pierce replied: "She was wearing white to make sure she's seen. And that was the Queen's maxim, wasn't it? Visibility."

In observing other members of the monarchy, both present and missing, Pierce further added how: "There's no Prince Andrew, and no Prince Harry and Meghan."

Costello stated: "No there isn't, but it's very interesting that Lady Louise, not a working royal, was in that first carriage that we saw leaving Buckingham Palace, she has truly blossomed after the past few years. And we know how passionate she feels about horses and how passionate she feels about carriages. She had that in common, didn't she, with the late Duke of Edinburgh. They were very close."

The future queen appeared with other senior members of the royal family including her husband, William, Prince of Wales, who rode on horseback during the military parade, as well as King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who rode in a carriage. But it was her guidance of her three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, that stole the show for many observers (certainly us).

After her balcony appearance and "sensational" return to fashion, many fans are now left wondering when they will see the princess return to her charitable duties on the public front. As The Royal Observer previously reported, HRH recently said in a statement: "I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times."

She added: "I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well. My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months," the queen-in-waiting wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 14
