Princess Catherine has withdrawn from her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot as she continues her gradual return to public life following her cancer diagnosis.
While disappointed to miss the high-profile event, sources say she is prioritising balance and health during her recovery.
Her absence came despite earlier appearances this month at Trooping the Colour, the V&A East museum, and the Order of the Garter service.
Kensington Palace confirmed she would not attend the races, where she was originally set to join Prince William and senior royals in the carriage procession.
