Kate Middleton accused of playing the ‘cancer card' to skip Royal Ascot; was it fear of getting booed? Watch video
Prince William attended Royal Ascot alone on June 18 after Kate Middleton had withdrawn from the event at the last minute. Princes Kate, who is recovering from cancer treatment, is still finding the right balance as she slowly returns to public duties, according to PEOPLE.
The Princess of Wales was originally listed to travel with William in the second royal carriage. However, her name was removed in a last-minute change shared by Ascot.
Prince William was then moved to the first royal carriage, where he rode with King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince Saud bin Khalid Al-Saud.
Kate is said to be disappointed about missing the prestigious horse racing event. But, her health and well-being remain a top priority, reports claim.
Meanwhile, social media users paint a different picture. Many of them claim that Kate's decision to withdraw from the event was not about her health.
Kate Middleton was apparently booed by onlookers when she was in a horse carriage during the Trooping the Colour ceremony on June 14. Prince William's wife was accompanied by her children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
'Was it the boos that caused Kate Middleton to unceremoniously cancel Ascot just 20mins before? Is Kate that emboldened by the UK media that she knows she can't do no wrong?' wrote one user on X while sharing a clip of the alleged incident.
'Did Willy and her had a blowout just before? When is she going to stop pulling the pre-cancerous cells card? (sic)' the user added.
'Maybe she was worried about another carriage ride and getting booed? This way she has the headlines and sympathy of the public?' commented another.
Another posted, 'There's no way this isn't linked! Guaranteed she can't handle the booing again.'
'Most of the British people cannot stand Kate because she chased Meghan and her family out of Britain. They despised Kate,' came from another.
'I hope Meghan saw this, and laughed her head off,' came from another.
'The cancer card is being used again by Kensington Palace and their British media. Vacation lover Kate Middleton is not going to be at the Royal Ascot, so KP and the BM decided to use cancer/in remission as the reason for her absence. Many things don't add up abt Kate's cancer story. She Never Had Cancer,' claimed another user.

Gone with the gold watch: Britain's missing economy and other pub-side mysteries
Britain, billed as the Sceptred Isle, this other Eden, demi-Paradise, is also the haunt of mythical and mysterious bogeys and beasties - things that go bump in the night, or even in daylight. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Loch Ness Monster, the cuddly Nessie, said to lurk in the lake of that name in the Scottish Highlands. Since her first reported sighting in 1933, Nessie continues to attract some 5,00,000 visitors annually, bringing in over £40 mn. In T.H. White's 1958 Arthurian epic, The Once and Future King, a knight of the Round Table, Sir Pellinore, devotes his life to the pursuit of the elusive Questing Beast. Finally, weary of his vain efforts, the ageing knight doffs his armour, stables his steed, and calls it a day. But he's roused from his repose by a snuffling outside his castle. It is the Questing Beast, anxiously waiting to be quested again. In the true spirit of chivalry and knight-errantry, Sir Pellinore dons his helmet and breastplate and sets off once more, with the Questing Beast merrily leading the chase, leaving behind fewmets for its pursuer to follow. In the unlikely guise of an economist, a latter-day Sir Pellinore might quest in search of a fabled fugitive called the British economy - an enigmatic entity, as seemingly unsusceptible to discovery as the unfathomable Nessie. Hang it all, the blessed thing was here just the other day, wasn't it? It must have been, what with Britain having presided for a couple of centuries over the biggest empire ever known to man - or, Marvel Comics superhero - just one component of which, the Jewel in the Crown that was India, yielded a wealth which, in today's terms, is estimated at over $64 tn. Where did all that lolly go? Like the Questing Beast, the economy leaves a trail of occasional droppings to indicate its passage. A while ago, it was reported that the erstwhile outpost of the British raj, India, has overtaken its former ruler to become the world's 5th largest economy. For the Indian economy to have overtaken Britain, the latter must have had an economy capable of being overtaken, right? Right. Well, sort again, all the London pubs are always full, with not even standing room. Surely, you need to have an economy to finance all this patronage of public houses, which have never been so prolifically public - even though what, in Cockney rhyming slang, is called a 'gold watch' (=Scotch), costs what a horologe composed of that metal would fetch in a pawn that's what's happened to the disappeared economy. It's got itself another reason adduced for this plenitude of pub patronage relates not to Britain's economy, but to the economies of other nations - what with Russian oligarchs and Arab sheikhs having bought up so much real estate in the city that property has turned into unreal estate for many Londoners. This has resulted in a phenomenon known as failure to launch, which refers to the financial inability of those who, unable to afford to leave the parental nest, seek temporary refuge - and spirituous solace - in talks about the high, and growing higher, cost of living. To compound the problem, its alternative - the cost of dying - is also pricey, with a typical funeral costing £2,500-plus, nullifying Woody Allen's anodyne definition of death as a radical way to save on the mystery of the absconding British economy might have a simpler explanation: it has been subsumed, secretly, within a much larger one. Attention is so focused on Trumpistan's attempted takeover bid to make Canada the supposed 51st state of America, it's been overlooked that Uncle Sam has had a symbolic extra star on his flag ever since the end of was when John Bull surrendered his bowler hat in exchange for a cowboy's Stetson, and Westminster became an annexe - or, in local parlance, a granny flat - of the White House.

Prince William birthday: Kate Middleton celebrates Duke's birthday with heartwarming puppy snapshot
As Prince William celebrates his 43rd birthday, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton made it even more special with a heartfelt Instagram post for her husband. On Saturday, June 21, Princess Kate, 43, shared a photo on Instagram of Prince William surrounded by the Royal puppies, wishing him happy birthday, with a sweet message from Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. "Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies! 🐾" Kate Middleton captioned the snap, which also got immense love from over three lakh netizens across the globe. In the puppy photo, Prince Williams appears at ease, dressed casually in jeans and trainers—a contrast to his recent formal appearances at events like Trooping the Colour and the Order of the Garter procession. The picture, taken by the Princess of Wales earlier this month, shows Prince William with their family's Cocker spaniel, Orla, and three of her four recently-arrived puppies. Kate Middleton posts adorable photo on Prince William's birthday The Royal family received Orla as a gift in 2020 after Kate Middleton's brother, James Middleton's dog Luna gave birth to six puppies. In May, Orla, welcomed a set of puppies, reported The Sun. Prince Williams was born to Lady Diana and King Charles on June 21, 1982. On Saturday, the Duke turned 43-years-old. When Queen Elizabeth came to see her grandchild, her reaction was unexpected. According to author Andrew Morton, the Queen joked about William's ears, comparing them to Charles'. As a child, William was allowed to grow up away from royal pressures for as long as possible. He was a lively boy, nicknamed 'Basher Billy' at nursery. Interestingly, Prince William's birthday – June 21 – is the same date as summer solstice, which marks the longest day and shortest night of the year.
