The Princess of Wales is carefully pacing her return to public life amid her last-minute decision to skip Royal Ascot

Kate, who shares three young children with William, has made a gradual return to public engagements this year since announcing in January that she is in remission from cancer. Kate has not shared details of the type of cancer with which she was diagnosed, though she has shared she underwent chemotherapy treatment.

Kate Middleton has made a last-minute decision to pull out of a planned appearance at the Royal Ascot horse racing event. The Princess of Wales was scheduled to attend the second day of the prestigious sporting spectacle in Berkshire, southeast England, but opted out as she continues her cancer recovery.
