Princess of Wales ‘disappointed’ to miss Royal Ascot
The Princess of Wales had to drop out of attending the prestigious event. Catherine was originally listed to take part in the carriage procession but less than an hour later, a revised list was published confirming that she would not be there.
However, her mother, Carole Middleton, did attend and was seen sharing a joke with King Charles and Queen Camilla as they enjoyed the racing.
