Kate Middleton withdrew from attending Royal Ascot, one of the largest events in the British social calendar, with palace officials saying she was attempting to find the "right balance" as she recovers from cancer.

The question 'Is Kate Middleton okay?' surged on social media Wednesday afternoon after the Princess of Wales abruptly withdrew from her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot, one of the most anticipated events in the British social calendar.

The Princess of Wales had planned to attend the second day of the event on Wednesday, but canceled those plans just moments beforehand.
