LONDON — Catherine, Princess of Wales, will not be at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, with a royal source citing her need for balance as she returns to public engagements after being treated for cancer last year.
Her husband Prince William, heir to the throne, is set to be part of the royal procession at the horseracing event in southern England later on Wednesday, alongside his father King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The royal source said Kate was disappointed not to be attending.
The princess has gradually been returning to her public royal role after completing a course of preventative chemotherapy last year to address the presence of an unspecified form of cancer.

US singer Chris Brown pleads not guilty to assault charge in UK court
LONDON, June 20 - U.S. singer Chris Brown on Friday pleaded not guilty to attacking a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub two years ago. Brown is charged with attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an "unprovoked attack" on Abraham Diaw in a London nightclub in 2023. The 36-year-old appeared at London's Southwark Crown Court, where he denied the charge. His trial was scheduled to begin on October 26, 2026. The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hits such as "Loyal", "Run It," and "Under the Influence," was granted bail in May after promising to pay a 5 million-pound ($6.7 million) security fee in order to begin his "Breezy Bowl XX" tour. Brown was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England last month after returning to Britain for the first time since the incident two years ago. —Reuters

‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' brings fans back to dangerous dinosaur realm
LONDON —Scarlett Johansson's role in "Jurassic World: Rebirth" made her recall her earliest memories of the dinosaur film franchise. The "Black Widow" actor recalled seeing the first "Jurassic Park" film at the movie theater when she was 10 years old. 'It imprinted on me very deeply,' she told Reuters at the London premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. 'For the next three decades, I was like, I would have done anything to be in a Jurassic movie in any capacity,' she added. The franchise, created by Michael Crichton, has spawned several films, merchandising deals and video games. "Jurassic World: Rebirth," directed by Gareth Edwards, follows a team of specialists that embarks on an expedition to a forbidden island, home to a research facility for the original 'Jurassic Park'. The specialists, played by Johansson and "Bridgerton" actor Jonathan Bailey, must obtain DNA samples from three dinosaurs to achieve a life-saving medical breakthrough. The Universal Pictures film arrives in theaters on July 2. For Rupert Friend, this installment in the franchise is exhilarating. 'I love adventure. I love being taken on a ride where you don't know what's going to happen. I love the unknown. I love risk,' he said. For well-known science fiction director, Edwards, the pressure for the film to succeed did not hit until he arrived at the premiere. 'It's all front and centre here. It feels a bit weird to be honest. I can't quite get my head around it,' the "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" director added.—Reuters
