The Princess’s last-minute cancellation raises questions about her ongoing recovery after cancer treatment, as Kensington Palace emphasizes her need for balance.
In an announcement on June 18, 2025, Kensington Palace revealed that Catherine, who has made multiple public appearances since her chemotherapy and remission announcement, would not participate in the popular event. The palace confirmed that her husband, Prince William, would still attend the races without her.
Sources indicated that Catherine feels “disappointed” about her absence but recognizes the importance of finding a “right balance” between her health and public engagements. Despite making her presence felt recently during the Trooping the Color ceremony, her public schedule has been adjusted, prioritizing recovery and ensuring she does not overexert herself after her treatment for an undisclosed cancer diagnosis.
As Catherine navigates her way back into royal duties, questions surrounding her health and the implications of her choices for her public role remain pertinent. The situation continues to evolve, and further updates are anticipated on her condition and the management of her royal responsibilities.
