Kate Middleton's Mom Carole Makes a Very Rare Royal Appearance
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Royal Ascot is usually a week of who's who not just in the royal family—but all those related to the royals, including Kate Middleton's family and Queen Camilla's family. Today, though the Princess of Wales did not attend Royal Ascot, her mom Carole Middleton was among the attendees at Ascot Racecourse. For the occasion, Carole wore a pale yellow lace dress from Me + Em. Carole also carried the Natasha Clutch from Emmy London—a go-to of her daughter. Kate loves the clutch so much, she has it in at least 10 different colorways, so there's a good chance Carole was borrowing from her daughter's closet today.$595.00 at Carole completed her look with a Jane Corbett hat; she previously wore the hat to Royal Ascot back in 2011. Ascot 2011 Ascot 2025 Carole arrived with her daughter-in-law, Alizee Thevenet, and the two watched the races from the Royal Box. Like other attendees, the two woman wore name tags for the event. Carole's husband, Michael, was not pictured, nor was her son (and Alizee's husband) James Middleton. Carole last stepped out with the royals at her daughter's Christmas Carol at Westminster Abbey in December. Kate was reportedly set to attend Royal Ascot today, though she pulled out at the last minute as she focuses on her health. Town & Country understands that the Princess of Wales was disappointed to not be able to attend. This past September, when Kate announced she had finished chemotherapy, her parents made a brief cameo in the video playing cards with the Wales family: Carole and Michael Middleton are reportedly very involved grandparents with Prince George, Princess, Charlotte, and Prince Louis. 'I want to run down the hills, climb the trees and go through the tunnel at the playground,' Carole said a few years ago. 'As long as I am able to, that's what I'll be doing. I cook with them, I muck around dancing, we go on bike rides.' You Might Also Like 12 Weekend Getaway Spas For Every Type of Occasion 13 Beauty Tools to Up Your At-Home Facial Game

While Kensington Palace has not given a specific reason for Middleton's absence, she is said to be "disappointed not to be able to join." However, it sounds like this might be her way of pumping the breaks on her busy schedule to give herself a bit of a rest after her return to work following her battle with cancer. According to PEOPLE, those close to her have said she's still "trying to find the right balance."It has been a rather busy week for Middleton, so it makes sense that she'd want to lay low.
