Details of Kate Middleton's confirmed attendance at a review of Trooping the Colour in June have been removed from the Ministry of Defence's website after it was reported that Kensington Palace had not given their approval.
The Princess of Wales has taken time away from official royal engagements after undergoing "planned" abdominal surgery back in January.
The mother-of-three, who has been spending time recuperating at both Adelaide Cottage near Windsor and the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, was last seen on an official royal outing on Christmas Day 2023 when she attended church with the Royal Family.
While Catherine was spotted for the first time since her operation in the car with mother Carole Middleton this week, it was confirmed at the start of her break that she would not resume official engagements until after Easter at least.
However, an official duty that the Princess of Wales would attend appeared to be confirmed for the first time since her surgery yesterday, although details have since been removed.
It was announced on the Ministry of Defence website that Kate will carry out a review of Trooping the Colour on June 8th - with the annual Trooping the Colour parade taking place a week later to mark King Charles's birthday.
The statement confirming that the Princess of Wales, who holds the role of Colonel of the Irish Guards, is set to attend the event has now been taken down from the website, after it was reported that Kensington Palace hadn't given approval.
On Tuesday, the web page for the event read, "The soldiers will be inspected by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Colonel Irish Guards", alongside a photograph of her. This information is no longer included on the page.
It's unknown when the Princess of Wales's first royal engagement post-surgery will take place, however Kensington Palace confirmed that she would take time out until at least after Easter.
At the time of her operation, a statement explained, "The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery.
"Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."
