Alert in the United Kingdom: prince William reportedly warned about Kate Middleton

In royalty, especially in that of the United Kingdom, elegance and protocol coexist with constant pressure. Every public appearance draws attention, and all cameras and eyes focus on them. When events have been announced in advance or the dates are known beforehand, there is speculation about what the outfits, attitudes, and other details will be like.

Without a doubt, disappointment comes when the most desired figures don't attend the commitments, and each absence fuels all kinds of theories. Kate Middleton and Prince William have become pivotal figures in the royal family of the United Kingdom. However, that prominence carries an emotional burden that's difficult to sustain in the long term.

An unexpected stir in Ascot

Ascot, one of the most desired events on the royal calendar, became the epicenter of speculation. The Princess of Wales, who was scheduled to attend, canceled her presence at the last minute. Her absence triggered an atmosphere of widespread confusion in the Palace.

"Everyone was going back and forth, asking: "What's going on?". One moment she was going, and the next she wasn't," a source told The Daily Beast. This uncertainty caused a wave of comments inside and outside the walls of Windsor.

Prince William, who was initially supposed to share a carriage with his wife, was reassigned with King Charles III and Camilla. This decision only increased the mystery. Charles III, despite his treatment, has kept every one of his commitments.

Too much in too little time

In the previous weeks, Kate had resumed her schedule with enthusiasm. She appeared at important events such as Trooping the Colour and Garter Day, showing the joy, warmth, and elegance that characterize her. However, the intensity of these days seems to have taken a high physical and emotional toll.

"The important thing here is Kate's recovery. Unfortunately, it was too much for her to have three appearances in less than a week," a close source said. Ailsa Anderson, former spokesperson for Elizabeth II, commented in People that Kate "is being sensible, listening to what her body is telling her."

A year without certainties for Kate and William

There isn't a fixed schedule expected for the princess in the coming months. "Kate will take things much more calmly for the rest of the year," another source said. "I'd be surprised if you see her more than three times in the next three months."

"Kate is recalibrating her whole life," a former royal staff member stated. "Wednesday was a wake-up call, not an isolated event," he added.

William, aware of what's at stake, has already made it clear. "If she needs more time to recover, he'll fight tooth and nail to make sure she gets it."
