FEARS KATE WON'T MAKE IT!

William reels as she again slips from public view

SKELETAL Princess Kate has sparked new fears for her health by skipping the annual Royal Ascot horse races, a high-society event that kicked off four days after the U.K.'s frail future queen appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Color alongside husband Prince William, sources say.

Cancer survivor Kate, 43, was initially cited in the carriage list for Ascot's Royal Procession on June 18, but her absence was announced at the 11th hour — and glum-looking William was later photographed solo at the event.

According to the Daily Mail, royal aides claimed the released program was an “error,” and palace sources said Kate was “disappointed” to miss Royal Ascot, but “has to find the right balance as she fully returns to public facing duties.”

However, some royal watchers believe the statement could be a cover-up to hide the true condition of the Princess of Wales.

Fans have pointed out that Kate has long been a regular at Royal Ascot — only missing the 2024 event as she underwent grueling treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
