Princess of Wales pulls out of attending Royal Ascot

The Princess of Wales pulled out of Royal Ascot today – as she continues to find the right balance after her cancer diagnosis.

Kate is said to be disappointed at not attending the sporting event in Berkshire with Prince William, and the King and Queen.

She had been named in the list of guests joining Charles and Camilla in the carriage procession.

But this was quickly amended after Kensington Palace confirmed the princess would not be attending.

William later arrived at the race course with his father and Camilla, and the trio took part in a royal procession before the racing began.

ate has been making a gradual return to public duties since it was announced in January she was in remission from cancer. (Skynews)
