Catherine & William Spotted Leaving In A Black Land Rover Amidst Her Battle With Cancer
On Thursday, Katherine and Prince William were seen leaving Windsor Castle, marking a significant appearance for the Princess of Wales amidst her ongoing health journey. The couple was pictured in a black Land Rover, with Catherine looking composed and serene as they departed. This sighting comes as a relief to many royal fans who have been closely following Katherine’s battle with cancer since she announced her diagnosis in March. The princess has shown remarkable strength and resilience throughout this time.
In June, Katherine provided an update on her health via Instagram, demonstrating her ongoing battle with cancer and her resilience. Her appearances at public events, such as Wimbledon, have been strategic and well-timed, allowing her to engage with her royal duties while prioritizing her health. Prince William has also been a pillar of strength for Katherine, and King Charles has been proactive in ensuring she is protected from negative press and undue stress.
Land Rovers have long been the vehicle of choice for the British royal family, known for their rugged durability, off-road capabilities, and classic British design. Land Rovers have been used by royalty for decades, from ceremonial parades to everyday use. These vehicles are a staple of the royal fleet. The black Land Rover that Catherine and William were seen in is likely a Range Rover, one of the most luxurious and capable models in the Land Rover lineup.
On May 26th, 2021, Katherine and Prince William chose a special car to attend a drive-in movie during their tour of Scotland. The royal couple arrived at an outdoor screening of the new Disney movie “Cruella” in a Land Rover from 1966 that once belonged to Prince William’s late grandfather, Prince Philip. Queen Elizabeth’s husband, well known by his Prince of Edinburgh title, died on April 9th at the age of 99. Prince Philip was such a fan of the British-made vehicles that at his April 17th funeral, his coffin was carried on a customized Land Rover designed to his specifications.
In March 2022, Prince William and Katherine completed the second leg of their Caribbean royal tour with a three-day stay in Jamaica before moving on to their final destination of the Bahamas. The week-long trip, in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, marked the couple’s first joint overseas engagement since March 2020. The tour aimed to strengthen the ties between the British Monarchy and its Commonwealth nations in light of Barbados’s recent transition to a republic.
The last event of their stay in Jamaica saw the couple attend a commissioning parade for Caribbean officer cadets in Kingston. William and Katherine decided to ride in the same Land Rover used by the Queen and the late Prince Philip during their trip to Jamaica in 1953. In the images released, William and Katherine can be seen standing in the open-top vehicle while waving to spectators as they were driven slowly through the military parade. The photos look strikingly similar to those of Her Majesty and Prince Philip, who also posed on the pristine Land Rover while visiting the Commonwealth country nearly 70 years ago.
In March 2022, the Prince and Princess of Wales were seen stepping out of a facelifted £100,000 car at a St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The royals appear to be the first lucky UK customers to get their hands on the all-new Range Rover SUV, as deliveries weren’t due for at least another month. It’s no surprise to see the Prince and Princess of Wales using the all-new dark blue 4×4 luxury SUV on official duties, as the British brand has been making cars for the royals since 1951.
