Kate Middleton seen balancing royal duty and motherhood with grace

Kate Middleton shined as she attended the Trooping the Colour after completion of her cancer treatment with her kids.

The Princess of Wales not only shined as she took on her official role as Colonel of the Irish Guards but also stood out as mother to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Riding with her children in carriage, Kate was seen gently comforting Charlotte and keeping a watchful eye on all three children.

Speaking with The Mirror, royal expert Jennie Bond said, "I thought William, and particularly Catherine, were very careful to watch over the children, tell them what was happening next and make sure there were no embarrassing moments.”

“And there weren’t,” she continued. “Everyone was on their best behaviour and, in the glorious sunshine, it was a treat for the huge crowds who turned out to see the pageantry and the Royal Family on parade."

Bond added, "It was genuinely joyful to see Catherine looking so well, so dazzlingly elegant and so happy with her children in the carriage.

"Ever the mum, she put a reassuring hand on Charlotte’s knee as the carriage rolled down the Mall from the Palace. But the young Princess also looked full of confidence and smiles, she seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the parade.

"Louis was on his best behaviour and George looked rather serious. He seemed rather like a young lad who was thinking 'been here, done it, got the T-shirt!'

"But he has a whole life of this sort of thing ahead of him, and I’m sure he’ll enjoy it all the more when he’s on horseback escorting his father, or indeed, heading up the parade himself."
