After Kate Middleton's name appeared on the carriage procession list at Royal Ascot, a corrected list was issued that showed the Princess of Wales wasn't attending the event. What happened behind the scenes?

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, recently appeared alongside Prince William, as well as their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at Trooping the Colour.

Kate Middleton canceled her appearance at the 2025 Royal Ascot at the last minute on June 18, though the palace expressed the Princess of Wales was disappointed to be missing out on the annual event. Recently, the Prince and Princess of Wales 'were able to step back and reassess their priorities.'
