Princess Catherine will not attend Royal Ascot, where she was expected to appear in a royal procession.

Princess Catherine, who is gradually returning to public life after her cancer diagnosis last year, has cancelled her planned participation in Royal Ascot. She was scheduled to attend on Wednesdays, along with her husband, the Prince of Wales, and the King and Queen. The announcement disappointed many racing lovers, who hoped to see Catherine, as William was announced as one of those who would award the prizes during the second day of the meeting.
