The Princess of Wales, Kate, will not be gracing the Royal Ascot with her presence on Wednesday, according to royal sources. This decision comes as she navigates a delicate balance between health and duty after undergoing cancer treatment last year.

Her absence is noted with disappointment, particularly as her husband, Prince William, will appear alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla in the royal procession. Princess Kate has gradually resumed her public engagements following preventative chemotherapy for an unspecified cancer type.

The Royal Ascot, renowned for prestigious horse racing with prize money reaching up to a million pounds, remains an elite event, drawing top competitors and a worldwide audience.
