Ever the doting mother, the Princess was seen gently stroking Charlotte’s hair and pulling it over her dress as they waited for their carriage ahead of the parade.
“All set for The King’s Birthday,” the caption read. The day marks Princess Kate’s triumphant return to public life in the midst of her cancer treatment as she joined the royal family to celebrate the King’s official birthday.
