* The Prince of Wales, 43, competed in the annual Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup at Guards Polo Club on July 11, one of his favorite summer traditions. Sporting a blue jersey with the number 4, William took the field on horseback against the scenic backdrop of Windsor Castle.
* While Kate, 43, did not attend, her absence reflects the careful pace she is taking as she resumes royal life after revealing last month that the post-treatment phase of her cancer recovery has been “very difficult.” “She’s being sensible, listening to what her body is telling her and easing back into public life,” [Queen Elizabeth](https://people.com/tag/queen-elizabeth/)’s former spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE in a recent [cover story](https://people.com/kate-middleton-summer-strength-major-shifts-coming-exclusive-11755897).
* Friday’s appearance marks William’s 14th time playing in the match and comes just days after he and Kate stepped out together for the French state visit, where they greeted French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, and attended a glittering banquet at Windsor Castle alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla. The upcoming Wimbledon finals are expected to mark Kate’s next appearance.
I don’t blame her, it’s about a bazillion degrees here today.
Hey people magazine
“Prince William takes the field for annual charity polo match” is a perfectly good title, the constant focus on Kate attending or not attending events is unnecessary.

Fascinating
Are their kids on summer break? I’m under the impression that she/they are doing as few events as possible when school is on break.
Spouses do things independently of each other
She might attend Wimbledon tomorrow (I am pretty sure about Sunday tho) I don’t think she’s back to that level of engagements
The ten charities supported this year are:
4 of William’s patronages:
Child Bereavement UK
Royal African Society
Fields in Trust
We Are Farming Minds
4 of Kate’s patronages:
Anna Freud Centre
Family Action
Forward Trust
East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices
A joint patronage:
NHS Charities Together
plus
British Red Cross
14 years of marriage and nearly 2 years as the princess of Wales and they still call her Kate Middleton.
Catherine is allergic to horses, that may have something to do with it.
He actually managed to ride a horse without his wife holding his hand??!?!? 🙄🙄🙄
Spouses are allowed to appear in public without each other. Even famous ones.
Oh no, how will he ever survive? His wife only has 3 children to raise and has cancer….
