In recent days, there has been much speculation about Kate Middleton's absence from Royal Ascot, one of the most important events in the United Kingdom. As a result, Kate and Prince William's circle states that "an inaccurate version was mistakenly released," and they've decided to tell the whole story. Unlike what has been said, Middleton's presence at the racecourse was not confirmed, so "it was a communication error."
It was a mistake by the organization in charge of the event, which included the Princess of Wales's name on the guest list. However, they say that Kensington never confirmed that Kate would attend Ascot.
Kate Middleton and Prince William's circle confirms the whole truth
This week, Kate Middleton has become the unwitting protagonist of rumors that set off all the alarms. Her presence was desired last Wednesday at Ascot, but only Prince William attended. This alarmed many and triggered a wave of reports about the reason for her absence from an event important to the Royal Family.
It was said that, at the last minute, Kate declined to go, forcing her husband to radically change his plans. Now, the real reason has come to light from the circle of the Prince and Princess of Wales. A close source explains that it was all due to "a communication error" between the organization and the Royal Household.
According to reports, Ascot included Kate on the guest list for the racecourse without confirmation from Kensington. From the Palace, it was known that Middleton was not going to attend the horse races, thus confirming that her need to rest was 100% true. Therefore, there was no last-minute refusal from the princess or a snub to the organization.
"An inaccurate version of the entourage list was released," Kate and William's circle points out. After what happened became known, "the correct list" was sent out, now without Middleton's name. Nevertheless, this did not stop the wave of comments about the princess's absence and the reason for her decision.
Prince William and Kate Middleton will not reappear at Ascot
Minutes before the royal entourage began, Kate's name was removed from the list, causing a stir among media and the expectant public. That sudden change sparked speculation about a possible deterioration in her health, although Kensington Palace insisted there was no emergency or cause for alarm.
It is now known that this was due to a correction of the list that had previously included Middleton without confirmation from the Royal Household. After several days in which Kate has attended a large number of events, Prince William's wife chose to take a break.
The princess wants to resume public events, but she is doing so gradually, making sure each commitment is compatible with her current physical condition. So far, she has resumed events such as Trooping the Colour, the Order of the Garter, and cultural visits, without exceeding her recommended pace.
That's why, from Kensington, it was already known that she would not attend Ascot to avoid overexertion after successfully overcoming her cancer. "Although I've finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long, I must continue taking each day as it comes," she said.
Experts in the British Royal Household state that, no matter how hard Middleton tries, "she doesn't lead a normal life." They also say that her latest appearances "have been too much for her," so her absence from Ascot was more than justified.
The question now is whether, at any point during the races, which will last until June 21, Kate will make an appearance. Sources close to the Prince and Princess of Wales have already stated that neither she nor Prince William will go to the racecourse.
