Princess of Wales pulls out of Royal Ascot

Kate, 43, had been expected to join her husband Prince William as well as King Charles and Queen Camilla at the horse racing event. Racegoers were hoping to see the popular royal during the traditional carriage procession at the racecourse.

She is understood to be disappointed at missing the event in Berkshire, just outside of London, but is working to find the right balance as she returns to public duties after her cancer treatment.

Kate needs to stop smiling so widely. She's showing her age.

“As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal,” she said in a social media post at the time. “I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”

Kate has undertaken a number of engagements in recent weeks, including attending two major events in the royal calendar, the Trooping the Colour parade in London and the Order of the Garter service in Windsor.

Buttercream is a terrible color for her.

Do you think she really cares? She's not a movie star who has to worry about looking her best to continue to get good roles: she will get her best role, Queen-to-be, just by dint of her marriage. If Camilla didn't ever care how old she looked when she was married to the Prince of Wales, why then should her daughter-in-law?

I would imagine that she stopped the Botox and fillers while she was undergoing chemotherapy. Might be wise to discontinue it.

R5. Everyone cares.

Oh, she cares, R5. Anyone who hasn't willingly touched a carb in 15 years at the very least "cares". You cannot compare her to Camilla or Elizabeth. Like Diana and Letizia, she's been a fashion and beauty icon since she first stepped into the spotlight. I like Kate very much, but there's no pretending she she isn't deeply invested in maintaining her beauty.

At least she's sparing herself the spectacle of drunken, ludicrously (under)dressed parvenus and chavs who have invaded the event in recent years.
