Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, pulled out of attending Royal Ascot, a major fixture in the British royal calendar, as she continues her recovery from cancer, Kensington Palace said.

The high-profile racing event, held in Berkshire, is known for its deep royal ties and social significance. While Prince William, King Charles III, and Queen Camilla are expected to attend, Kate Middleton will skip the outing to focus on her health. According to Britain’s Press Association, the Princess of Wales is working to “find the right balance" as she resumes public life following her treatment.

The five-day gathering features the Royal Procession, where members of the royal family arrive in horse-drawn carriages, followed by races viewed from the exclusive Royal Enclosure, known for its strict formal dress code.

Kate Middleton’s Cancer Recovery

In March 2024, Kate Middleton revealed she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer. She announced in January 2025 that she was in remission but continues to take a cautious approach to public engagements.

Kate Middleton has made a handful of public appearances in recent days, including King Charles III’s birthday parade and a royal event at St George’s Chapel. Her gradual return mirrors that of King Charles, who is also undergoing cancer treatment and recently resumed public duties.
