Kate Middleton is still taking time to support causes that are important to her after pulling out of her planned Royal Ascot appearance.<\/a><\/p>\n

The royal, 43, shared a public message on Friday to highlight Children\u2019s Hospice Week. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo parent expects to hear that their child has a serious health condition that could shorten their life,\u201d Middleton wrote. \u201cSadly, this is the reality faced by thousands of families across the country, leaving them heartbroken, fearful of the future and often desperately isolated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have the immense privilege of seeing for myself the extraordinary work of our children\u2019s hospices,\u201d Middleton wrote in part in her public message. Getty Images<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to access the support of one of the UK\u2019s 54 children\u2019s hospices means they don\u2019t have to face that future alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mother of three shared her own experience as the Patron of East Anglia\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospices and T\u0177 Hafan Children\u2019s Hospice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have the immense privilege of seeing for myself the extraordinary work of our children\u2019s hospices,\u201d she continued. \u201cLifting spirits through laughter, fun and play, as well as listening, holding, caring and sharing, they support children and families through life, death and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ascot officials confirmed that she was going to appear in the second carriage of the royal procession with her husband, Prince William, in a published carriage list. But less than half an hour later, Kensington Palace confirmed she wouldn\u2019t be attending the annual horse race.<\/p>\n

Ascot published a revised list that did not include her name, noting William would now be in the first carriage with King Charles and Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n

Her latest public appearance was at Trooping the Colour 2025 on June 14, when she appeared in good spirits alongside her children<\/a>: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. It marked her first Trooping the Colour since she revealed she\u2019s in remission from cancer.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Middleton is still taking time to support causes that are important to her after pulling out of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,186,187,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-1166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-kate-middleton","11":"tag-royal-family","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114719050064503442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
