Gwyneth Paltrow leaves Kate Middleton a sweet message after princess’ first appearance since cancer news
Gwyneth Paltrow sent Kate Middleton a surprise message of support following her defiant return to the spotlight for the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
The Princess of Wales, 42, looked stunning as she joined the royal family for the King’s birthday celebrations on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the royal flypast on Saturday.
After her appearance at the annual event, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a series of snaps from the ceremony on Instagram, thanking fans for “making it a day to remember.”
The sweet post, which featured an image of Princess Catherine with her family on the balcony, received a sweet note of support from the Goop founder.
“So happy to see you looking so happy and well
,” Paltrow wrote in the comments section.
While the pair aren’t known to share a friendship, Paltrow is notably close pals with Meghan Markle.
In May last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly enjoyed a Michelin-star meal with Paltrow and her TV producer husband Brad Fulchuk.
The A-listers were joined by Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden.
On Saturday, the Princess of Wales delighted fans by appearing alongside her husband, Prince William, and King Charles, to watch the traditional military flypast with her three children.
After the Red Arrows shot past the palace, spraying the colors of the Union Jack flag behind them, Middleton and her family waved to the crowd below.
Middleton appeared at the splashy military ceremony in honor of King Charles’ birthday after announcing Friday that she was currently well enough to attend.
In an emotional letter, the mom of three admitted she has “good days and bad days” and is “not out of the woods” with the illness.
“On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting,” she wrote. “But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.
Middleton, 42, rode in a carriage alongside her children and husband entering the palace before the parade.
She wore a white Jenny Packham dress with a black-striped belt decorated with a black-and-white bow at the collar, topped with a white-brimmed Philip Treacy hat and pearl cluster earrings.
Pinned to her dress was an Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, a nod to her honorary role as a Colonel of the Irish Guards.
The last time Princess Kate appeared in public was on Christmas Day — shortly before a doctor discovered cancer during a planned abdominal surgery in January.
The beloved royal first revealed she was undergoing chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer in a pre-recorded video shared on March 22.
