The Princess of Wales sparked concern as she pulled out of attending Royal Ascot yesterday, apparently at the last minute.

Kate Middleton canceled her appearance at the 2025 Royal Ascot at the last minute on June 18, though the palace expressed the Princess of Wales was disappointed to be missing out on the annual event. Recently, the Prince and Princess of Wales 'were able to step back and reassess their priorities.'

Still, the Daily Mail reported that the talk of Royal Ascot was not the event itself, but the whereabouts of Kate. The racecourse took the blame as the palace reportedly pushed back on the press release that had the Princess of Wales attending and arriving in the second carriage with PGA golfer Justin Rose and his wife, Kate.
