THE army have removed tickets to Princess Kate's royal event from their website after posting it without palace approval yesterday.
The Ministry of Defence jumped the gun by releasing tickets claiming Kate, 42, would review a dress rehearsal at Horse Guards Parade for the Trooping of the Colour on June 8.
Event details were published due to Kate's role as Colonel of the Irish Guards, the regiment which is trooping its colour this year.
It would have been her first big public event since she underwent “planned major abdominal surgery” in January at the London Clinic.
But it was revealed that the MoD put tickets, which quickly sold out, for Kate's event online before consulting Kensington Palace.
It is believed that the Army did not seek approval from Kensington Palace before publishing the page with the website now updated to reflect this.
The MoD also announced King Charles would make an appearance for his official birthday parade the following week on June 15.
The Army's website previously said: “Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales is identical to Trooping the Colour reviewed by His Majesty The King, with the exception that some additional mounted officers ride when His Majesty The King is present.
“Taking part will be over 1,400 soldiers of the Household Division and The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, including 400 musicians from the Massed Bands, all of whom will parade on Horse Guards for the second of two formal reviews.
“Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales also includes 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards who will line the processional route along The Mall.
“The soldiers will be inspected by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Colonel Irish Guards.”
In an earlier health update Kensington Palace said the princess would be unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.
The statement in January read: "The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements.
"She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible."
It comes as the royal was seen earlier this week for the first time since her hospital stay.
Kate was spotted in the passenger seat as mum Carole, 69, drove her in an Audi near Windsor Castle.
She was wearing sunglasses and appeared to be smiling slightly in her first sighting since her abdominal operation.
There has been rampant speculation online surrounding the royal's whereabouts.
Conspiracy theories circulated after Prince William bowed out of a memorial service last week, where he was expected to give a reading.
And while Kensington Palace would not comment further on William's reasoning, it said Kate was currently "doing well".
HERE is a date-by-date rundown of the health battles to have struck the Royals this year.
JANUARY 16: Kate is admitted to the London Clinic for abdominal surgery.
JAN 17: It is announced that the King is to have treatment for a benign enlarged prostate.
JAN 18: William spends time at Kate’s bedside.
JAN 19: The King flies back from Scotland with the Queen.
JAN 21: It is announced Sarah, Duchess of York, has malignant melanoma, a skin cancer.
JAN 23: Kate’s hospital stay passes one week. JAN 26: The King is admitted to the London Clinic for treatment.
JAN 29: The King is discharged from hospital. Kate leaves the same day.

FEBRUARY 5: Buckingham Palace announces the King has cancer, but not of the prostate, and will not carry out public-facing duties.
FEB 18: The King appears in good spirits as he attends a Sunday church service in the grounds of Sandringham.
FEB 23: The King filmed crying and chuckling while opening some of the 7,000 cards from well-wishers.
FEB 27: Prince William pulls out of service last-minute due to 'personal matter', sparking wave of unfounded conspiracy theories about Kate's health.
MARCH 4: Kate Middleton pictured in the car with mum Carole on the Windsor estate.
Meanwhile, His Majesty appeared in good spirits as he returned to work yesterday morning for a meeting with the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
The monarch smiled as he shook hands with the Chancellor, after having taken a step back from royal duties amid his cancer treatment.
Their meeting was held at Buckingham Palace in the Private Audience room, as is customary ahead of the Spring Budget today.
He put on a brave face amid the fallout after Kate's uncle Gary Goldsmith spilled secrets on Celebrity Big Brother.
The royals and Middleton family were said to be terrified when The Sun revealed in January that he was in the reboot of the reality show.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Gary insisted he could never do anything to upset “beautiful” Kate, and slammed claims against her of racism as “bull***t”.
If Kate recuperates according to schedule then her first engagement back could be at the family service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024.
However, sources have claimed her commitment to her royal duties could see her get back into work as soon as she can.
Following her operation in January 2024, a statement from Kensington Palace said: “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate.
"She hopes the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.
“She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”
