Prince William just had the most delightfully awkward family outing ever! The 41-year-old future King was spotted rubbing elbows with none other than Kate Middleton’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. This royal meet-up took place during day two of the ultra-posh 2024 Royal Ascot at Ascot Racecourse on Wednesday (June 19) in Ascot, England. And guess what? Prince William even had to step in to save his mother-in-law from a footwear fiasco! Talk about Prince Charming!
But wait, there’s more! While Carole and Michael were living it up at the horse races, their daughter Kate was MIA. Yep, the Duchess of Cambridge was nowhere to be seen. So, what’s the deal? Why wasn’t Kate there to witness her husband’s gallant shoe rescue?
Well, the royal grapevine is buzzing, and here’s the scoop. Some well-placed insiders spilled to People that Kate’s dazzling appearance at the Trooping the Colour parade over the weekend didn’t signal her grand comeback to royal duties. Nope, she’s still taking a breather to focus on her health.
“Princess Kate is doing what’s right for her and taking it easy at home,” a source shared, with the utmost seriousness that only a royal insider can muster. “She’s handling things as best she can.”
Prince William, a hero to the Middleton footwear and the ever-supportive husband, while Kate chills at home, probably binge-watching The Crown for tips. It’s just another day in the life of the future King and his fantastically royal in-laws!
