Kate quietly holds A-list meeting after abruptly pulling out of Royal Ascot

IN LONDON Kate has made a quiet return to work with a very A-list meeting after cancelling her appearance at Royal Ascot. Royal-watchers were left disappointed earlier this week after it emerged that she'd had to cancel her scheduled appearance in the royal carriage procession alongside the King, Queen and Prince William at the iconic raceground, after also missing it last year due to her cancer treatment. Just days later, it's now emerged that Kate, 43, has privately resumed work duties, meeting with philanthropist Melinda Gates, the ex-wife of Microsoft founder and billionaire, Bill Gates, at Windsor Castle. According to the Court Circular, which records royal engagements, she was joined by William for the June 25 meeting. The exact details of their discussion have not been disclosed, but according to Hello magazine, the Prince and Princess of Wales 'represented their Royal Foundation at the meeting, which focuses on areas including the early years and mental health'. Despite being on a positive trajectory since announcing her gradual return to public duties following the completion of her chemotherapy, there were concerns on Wednesday when Kate pulled out of the racing event at the last minute. She had already been listed to travel in the second carriage of the royal procession, alongside her husband. However, a short time later it was confirmed by Kensington Palace that Kate would not be attending, with local media reporting she was 'disappointed' but was having to 'find the right balance as she fully returns to public facing engagements'. Despite pulling out of Ascot, Kate still had plenty of high-profile appearances last week, including Trooping the Colour and the Order of the Garter ceremony. She's not expected to be seen publicly over the next few days, but is likely to turn up at Wimbledon, which kicks off on Monday. It's also understood she'll take part in events associated with the French President and First Lady's state visit to the UK early next month. Back in January, she revealed she was in remission from cancer, which she had first publicly disclosed last March. Last September, she released an emotional video message, featuring personal footage of herself with William and their three children, opening up about the challenges they'd all been privately battling – but also proudly announced she had completed her treatment.

Leonardo DiCaprio makes ultimate power move at billionaire's wedding

OPINION Leonardo DiCaprio turning up to a billionaire's wedding festivities in a plain black cap is the ultimate power move. The 50-year-old movie star and Academy Award winner was seen heading to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's pre-wedding dinner in Venice, Italy. You might have thought such an occasion would call for a black-tie look. You'd have been mistaken. You have to give it to the movie star; there's nothing quite like the power move of dressing a little bit down for the wedding event of the year. The outfit, in general, is pretty normal. The 50-year-old is wearing a plain suit, which is understated compared to his celebrity peers. Keep in mind Brad Pitt, 61, is rolling around in bucket hats these days, and the billionaire groom has a loud shirt collection that should be feared, studied and respected. There's really nothing particularly remarkable about DiCaprio's wedding attire except for the pesky hat. I haven't seen a hat steal the show this much since Guy Sebastian's fedora era, where his love of little hats was on the brink of overshadowing his music career at one point. The hat is only made more comical by comparison to what other celebrities are wearing and the effort they've put into it. DiCaprio's model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, is wandering around dressed like Cinderella. She's even gone as far as to wear ruffles. Kim Kardashian and the entire Kardashian gang have turned up in skin-tight dresses and they've gone heavy-handed with hair extensions; Ivanka Trump is in a gorgeous gown, and even Oprah has gone all out. Meanwhile the infamous hat DiCaprio is rocking resembles something you'd wear when trying to reach your 10,000 steps or if you wanted to look inconspicuous while conducting some low-key detective work. I'm thinking it is something you'd wear when you are snooping out the front of your neighbours' so you can stuff some rubbish in their bin because yours is overflowing. DiCaprio was dressed more like he was working in sales and going to a client lunch on a causal Friday than attending a wedding that is rumoured to have cost over $60 million, and that is one of the more conservative estimates. Perhaps DiCaprio was wearing the little black hat to avoid the paparazzi. Still, you'd assume if you value your privacy that much, you wouldn't bother to attend a highly publicised billionaire wedding at which Oprah is a guest. DiCaprio has clearly made an effort to attend and torn himself away from his lifestyle of hanging out with models on yachts. That shows a fair amount of commitment to the nuptials, but the hat … well, the hat just feels like nothing short of a power move. While the rest of the celebrities are practically fawning over the billionaire ceremony, DiCaprio has chosen quite literally to keep his hat on and play it cool.
