Catherine, Princess of Wales, Cancels Royal Ascot Attendance Amid Health Recovery
In a surprising move, Catherine, Princess of Wales, withdraws from Royal Ascot as she focuses on her health post-cancer treatment.
Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and spouse of Prince William, has unexpectedly decided not to attend the Royal Ascot horse races scheduled for Wednesday. Kensington Palace announced her withdrawal, raising speculation regarding her health status following cancer treatment. While her husband will represent the royal family at the event, a palace official shared that Catherine is "disappointed" not to be present but is prioritizing her recovery as she seeks to balance her engagements.
Catherine's recent public appearances have increased since she completed chemotherapy last September and reported entering remission in January. Her last appearance was at the Trooping the Colour ceremony commemorating King Charles III’s birthday on Saturday, signaling a gradual return to royal duties. However, the official noted that Catherine's schedule remains less hectic than it was prior to her illness, and she is mindful of her health as she re-enters the public eye.
This remains an unfolding story, and updates will be provided as more information emerges.
