The Perfect Son In Law, Prince William Shares A Sweet Moment With Carol Middleton At Ascot

Prince William has always set the bar so high when it comes to family. Recently, the royal was seen chatting with Kate’s parents and Zara Tindall on the second day of a high-profile social event. William arrived in a carriage with Queen Camilla and others, kicking off the second day of the glamorous Berkshire track festival. Interestingly, the Prince of Wales and Camilla looked comfortable riding with the Earl and Countess of Halifax. They responded politely to the cheers of the onlookers. Read on to catch the whole tea!

William And Carole Bond at Ascot Without Kate

This scenario marked the first time Prince William and Camilla joined forces since leading senior royals at the Commonwealth Day. The service took place at Westminster Abbey in March of this year. Moreover, the future King smiled at fans as he entered the course in the traditional carriage procession before the day’s first race. Other royals, including Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s daughter, and her husband Mike, also seemed to be having a blast at the event.

Plus, Mike and Prince William shared a laugh, arms around each other. Meanwhile, Kate’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, arrived at Ascot looking all happy. Carole even gave a subtle nod to her daughter with her dress choice, a brand Kate adores! The dress had chiffon sleeves with a pussy-bow neckline. It is reminiscent of an Elie Saab outfit Kate wore at Ascot back in 2019. This event followed a recent appearance where the Wales royals appeared for the Trooping Colours. 

They graced the event along with their kids and other royals and stood on the Buckingham Palace balcony. It was Middleton’s first public appearance since Christmas, and William stood proudly by her side. What an adorable man! Kate, who is undergoing cancer treatment, had announced she would attend the King’s birthday celebrations. Even though she admitted to having those “good and bad days.” 

Additionally, Princess Kate expects to be out of the public eye for a few more months to focus on her health. On the other hand, King Charles appeared in high spirits as he arrived at Royal Ascot. He was in a horse-drawn carriage and was congratulating the winners. Charles, also undergoing cancer treatment, will not attend today but plans to return tomorrow and Saturday. 

King Charles Gives Delivers Words of Courage

He wished the contestants luck in chasing the “thrill of a Royal Ascot winner” and had several horses running at the event. In the official program, Charles wrote about the joy of witnessing Desert Hero’s victory in the King George V Stakes last year. They hoped everyone, whether at the racecourse or watching from home, would enjoy the sport’s finest racing. In addition, seven races will take place each day at Royal Ascot. 

And guess what? This year’s prize pot totalled a record £10 million! Reflecting on this year’s The Trooping Colour, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted something interesting. He believes the late Queen would have been proud of Charles and Kate’s show of unity. “This can be interpreted as a gesture of solidarity and support from Charles to Catherine.” Plus, the royal watcher also highlighted the stress and scrutiny of such public ceremonies. 

This event was a significant demonstration of their support for each other. Also, don’t forget to check out Soap Opera Daily to stay abreast with the latest updates on the royal family. Do you love seeing William and Carole mingle so well together? Tell us in the comments.
