More info Royal fans were left worried this week when Princess Kate unexpectedly withdrew from the Royal Procession at Ascot on its second day. It was revealed by Buckingham Palace insiders that an administrative error was the reason for her last-minute pullout. The Duchess of Cambridge had previously shared her cancer diagnosis in March 2024, following abdominal surgery earlier that year. After a period away from the spotlight for preventative chemotherapy, Kate announced at the beginning of the year that she was in remission and focusing on her recovery. Kate has been seen at high-profile events such as Trooping the Colour and the Order of the Garter service, and there was anticipation she would join Prince William for the traditional carriage procession from Windsor Castle to the Berkshire racecourse. However, Palace sources have stated that while Kate was "disappointed" to miss Ascot, maintaining a balanced schedule is essential for her ongoing recovery. Prince William has shown a commitment to balancing his Royal duties with supporting his wife's health. During a visit to Surplus to Supper, a food redistribution charity in Surrey, last year, he assured a staff member that he would "look after" Kate, responding "I will do, I will," as he comforted Rachel Candappa with a hand on her shoulder. William, Kate, and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis retreated to Anmer Hall in Norfolk when she shared her cancer news in a heartfelt video. The family celebrated Father's Day with two snaps on social media, captioned: "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after! ) We love you! G, C and L" alongside a heart emoji, reports the Mirror. While Kate, now in remission, has been concentrating on her recovery, she's also been dedicated to her Early Years Initiative. The mother-of-three has delved into research aimed at enhancing the lives of infants, with The Princess's Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood backing a four-month trial of an observational tool for health visitors to better detect early signs of social and emotional development in tots. At Royal Ascot's second day, William attended solo, joining King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince Saud bin Khalid Al-Saud in the lead carriage. In his traditional morning suit, he presented jockey Billy Lee, aboard Ombudsman, with the trophy for winning the Prince of Wales's Stakes. The five-day Berkshire spectacle is set to draw around 250,000 attendees, with today's Ladies Day showcasing some flamboyant fashion statements.

Prince William's emotional promise to Kate Middleton before she pulled out of Royal Ascot
Kate, 42, withdrew from the Royal Procession on the second day of Royal Ascot, with Buckingham Palace sources quick to reveal this was due to an administrative error. Royal fans expressed concern this week when Princess Kate withdrew from the Royal Procession on the second day of Ascot. She appeared to cancel her attendance at the last minute; however, Buckingham Palace sources have since clarified that an administrative error caused the change in plans. The Duchess of Cambridge disclosed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024 following abdominal surgery earlier in January of that year. Post-surgery, Kate stepped back from public duties as she underwent preventative chemotherapy. At the beginning of this year, she joyfully shared news of her remission and her focus on recuperation. Kate has been returning to public life, seen at events like Trooping the Colour and the Order of the Garter service, and was anticipated to join Prince William for the carriage procession from Windsor Castle to the Berkshire racecourse. Still, despite her absence, which disappointed the princess, ensuring a balanced itinerary is deemed vital for her ongoing recovery. Prince William remains committed to supporting his wife while fulfilling Royal responsibilities. During a visit to Surplus to Supper, a food redistribution charity in Surrey, he assured a staff member that he would "look after" Kate, who in turn entreated him to "take care" of her, reports the Mirror. "I will do, I will," William had reassured Rachel Candappa with a supportive hand on her shoulder during their conversation. The Prince of Wales, William, attended Royal Ascot without his wife, Kate, who is focusing on her recovery after sharing her cancer diagnosis in an emotional video from the family's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. The family, including their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, recently celebrated Father's Day by sharing two photos on social media, along with a heartfelt caption: "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after! ) We love you! G, C and L" accompanied by a heart emoji. Kate, now in remission, has been working on projects she is passionate about, including her Early Years Initiative. She has been studying research on improving the lives of young children, with The Princess's Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood funding a trial of a baby observation tool to help health visitors identify signs of social and emotional development in young children. At Royal Ascot's second day, William rode in the first Royal carriage alongside King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince Saud bin Khalid Al-Saud. Wearing a traditional morning suit, he presented Billy Lee, the rider of Ombudsman, with a trophy for winning the Prince of Wales's Stakes. The five-day Berkshire event is expected to draw a total of 250,000 spectators, with extravagant fashion on display on Ladies' Day.

Prince William's urgent promise to Kate before she pulled out of Ascot
The Princess of Wales is balancing her recovery from cancer with attending public engagements - and the heir to the throne is right by her side every step of the way Princess Kate left royal watchers concerned this week when she withdrew from the Royal Procession on the second day of Ascot. The princess seemed to pull out of the event at the eleventh hour but Buckingham Palace sources were quick to reveal this was due to an administrative error. The Duchess of Cambridge announced her cancer diagnosis back in March 2024 following abdominal surgery that January. Kate then took time out of the public eye as she underwent preventative chemotherapy and at the start of the year, announced she was in remission from cancer and focussing on her recovery. The royal recently made public appearances at Trooping the Colour and the Order of the Garter service and there was expectation she would accompany Prince William to the Berkshire racecourse in the traditional carriage procession from Windsor Castle this week. But Palace sources went onto say that while Kate was "disappointed" not to attend, finding the right equilibrium in her schedule was crucial for her recovery. Prince William has also been keen to find the right balance between carrying out public engagements and supporting his wife. When he visited Surplus to Supper, a surplus food redistribution charity in Surrey, last year he promised a member of staff he would "look after" Kate as she urged him to "take care" of her. "I will do, I will," William said repeatedly, during the discussion with Rachel Candappa, which saw him place his hand on her shoulder. William, Kate and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis had previously retreated to the family home Anmer Hall in Norfolk when she shared her cancer news in an emotional video. Last weekend, the family of five marked Father's Day with two photos shared on the couple's social media account, with the accompanying caption reading: "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L" along with a heart emoji. And while Kate, who is now in remission, has been focussing on her recovery, she has been working on passion projects including her Early Years Initiative. The mother-of-three spent time studying research on improving the lives of babies, with The Princess's Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood funding a four-month long trial of a baby observation tool which could be used by health visitors to improve how they spot signs of social and emotional development in young children. Back to Royal Ascot's second day and in his wife's absence, William travelled in the first royal carriage alongside King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince Saud bin Khalid Al-Saud. Donning a traditional morning suit, he awarded Billy Lee, rider of Ombudsman, the winner of the Prince of Wales's Stakes, with a trophy. The five-day event in Berkshire is expected to attract a total of 250,000 spectators with extravagant fashion on display at today's Ladies Day.
