Kensington Palace Issue SAD ANNOUNCEMENT About Princess Catherine Leaves Fans In Tears
In the latest announcement, Kensington Palace has issued a health update on the Princess of Wales ahead of her anticipated appearance at a major sporting event. The annual event is taking place at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, and the Princess of Wales is usually one of the spectators. The palace has officially announced that Princess Catherine will not be present for Prince William’s yearly charity polo tournament on Windsor’s polo pitch on Friday, July 12. Notably, she made a brief comeback to the public eye with her family for Trooping the Colour in June.
Whenever the Princess of Wales makes a public appearance, it reminds people of how fluctuating and personal each patient’s journey with cancer is. Last year, the prince raised £1 million with his wife. Today’s match marks the 13th time the heir to the throne has participated in the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup, and today, the total amount raised for well-deserving causes that the prince and princess are passionate about is set to exceed £13 million.
One of the most memorable moments at the Guards Polo Club came when the royal couple shared a rare public kiss after one of William’s matches. This affectionate gesture was captured by the media and became a symbol of their enduring love and partnership. It is moments like these that make their absence together at this year’s event particularly poignant.
The princess is now undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy and has recently announced she would attend some engagements over the summer if doctors give her the green light. As Catherine said herself, she’s not out of the woods yet, but being able to attend occasional public events as she eases herself back into public life while also continuing to prioritize her health and her children is a good thing for the public to see the individuality of each patient’s journey. There is speculation she could attend the tennis finals at The Wimbledon Championships this weekend in her role as Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Meanwhile, Prince William is expected to watch England in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday. Many are hoping his eldest son, Prince George, will join him for a father-and-son outing. As the summer holidays begin, the young royal will not be attending school on Monday morning, giving him the opportunity to watch the game on Sunday night. If George had school the following day, he would have been unlikely to attend as kickoff is at 8:00 p.m., so they would return to England very late.
William and Catherine’s eldest child has already shown his enthusiasm for the sport and has melted the hearts of fans during previous public appearances. The last time William and George attended a football match together was back in May when the second in line to the throne delighted royal fans as he joined his dad at the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Prince of Wales recently confirmed this as he apologized at a royal engagement when he shared a surprising confession after England reached the Euro 2024 final. Speaking with guests at an event marking one year of his Homewards project to ultimately eradicate homelessness, he explained he had a hoarse voice after last night. No doubt the prince will have been eagerly watching from home and was unable to make the trip to Dortmund to see them play in person. During the visit, William offered the team hilarious advice from his youngest son, Prince Louis, who had urged the Three Lions to eat double portions ahead of the matches to help them storm to victory.
So far in 2024, he has understandably reduced his overseas travel following his wife’s cancer diagnosis. After the princess went public with her health diagnosis, an expert claims it is changing public perception for the better and helping the public understand that each patient has her own journey. Visits to the cancer pages of England’s Public Health System website surged by 373% thanks to a video. “We have seen a spike in people visiting vital information on our website about signs and symptoms,” Macmillan Cancer Support also said, noting that the number of visits to their charity’s online information and support pages skyrocketed.
