A close source reveals to People the real reason Kate Middleton missed the Royal Ascot after her successful appearance at Trooping the Colour on June 15th to celebrate the birthday of the current monarch, Charles III, despite being undergoing cancer treatment.
“She has been doing what’s right for her and recovering privately at home. She is dealing with it the best she can“, the source said, assuring that the princess of Wales still requires oncological treatment and that it is not advisable to attend two consecutive events since she needs to recover and rest.
Palace aides let it be known that while Kate Middleton’s appearance at Trooping the Colour showed a significant improvement in her health, it did not mean an official return to her royal duties as Princess of Wales and future monarch of the United Kingdom.
The priority is the health of the princess, which is why the royal has decided to stay at home and not accompany the family to the Royal Ascot; however, her parents were present, accompanying Prince William at the racecourse for the prestigious horse race.
