Prince William, 42, attended Royal Ascot’s second day in style without his wife, Kate Middleton, who was initially included in the carriage list for the royal procession but was removed due to last-minute changes. The Princess of Wales had stepped away from public duties after undergoing treatment for cancer and has gradually returned to royal responsibilities.
Prince William arrived at the event with King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince Saud bin Khalid Al-Saud in the first carriage. Kate’s family members, including her mother Carole Middleton and sister-in-law Alizée Thevenet, were also spotted at Ascot. Meanwhile, Prince William presented the trophy to the winner of the Prince of Wales’ Stakes, a fitting honor for his royal title.
The Prince of Wales had a busy weekend with the Royal Family’s official birthday celebration on Saturday, followed by new portraits of him and his children released on Sunday to commemorate Father’s Day.
