On August 25th local time, Princess Kate of Wales appeared in the public eye after a long absence.

Kate, 42, is currently spending her summer vacation at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. On that day, she went to Cressey Kirk Church with her royal family to attend the service.

Prince William was driving the car and Kate was sitting in the passenger seat. The couple seemed to be chatting, showing a calm and happy feeling.

Kate, with her long golden brown hair, wore a beige plaid Marlborough trench coat and a dark brown wool felt fedora with feathers, which was very local.

Although it is summer, the temperature in Scotland is relatively low at this time (the highest temperature does not exceed 20 degrees Celsius), especially in the countryside. This is why the royal family goes there for the summer vacation, which is the case every year. The whole family gathers together, of course, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been absent for many years.

Royal author Phil Dampier said that Kate's ability to participate in the royal summer activities may mean that she is in good health now and may be able to return to work this fall. "You know we can expect to see her gradually and slowly start to participate in some public activities, but, as I said before, it all depends on the doctor's advice."

Kate's last public appearance was in mid-July this year, when she watched the men's singles final of the Wimbledon Tennis Open and presented the "Challenger Cup" to the champion, Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz.

Kate had an abdominal surgery in January and announced she had cancer a few months later, and she has been out of the public eye ever since. This has caused confusion on social media, and various conspiracy theories have emerged. Fortunately, Kate finally appeared at the King's official birthday celebration in June, which also dispelled those rumors.

There was another person who attracted much attention in the car driven by William, and that was Prince George.

The 11-year-old boy was rarely taken to Sunday services before, and this appearance was also rare. I think as he grows older, George will participate in more and more such activities.

Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, were not in the car, it was reported.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla also appeared in the camera, sitting side by side in a limousine.

The 75-year-old king wore a tartan kilt, obviously taking the service seriously.

Although the royal family's Sunday service was more of a private event and was not almost entirely broadcast live like the Christmas service, the atmosphere outside the church was quite grand. Soldiers from the Balaclava Company of the 5th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland formed a guard of honor, but there were not many onlookers.

Prince Edward and Princess Sophie and their son James also appeared, and Princess Anne's husband Tim Laurence sat in the passenger seat.

It is reported that Edward's family maintains a very close relationship with William and Kate's family. Especially when Kate was suffering from cancer, Sophie also provided help and personally took Princess Charlotte shopping in central London, striving to keep the children's lives normal.
