Kate Middleton 'disrespected' King Charles with latest big move?

A friend of King Charles has disclosed the monarch's reaction to Kate Middleton’s absence from Royal Ascot.

The Princess of Wales did not join King Charles and Prince William, and she was reported to be “disappointed” not to go but wanted to find the right “balance” in her return to full-time royal duties after she recovered from cancer.

Kate and William’s friends have assured that King Charles was not bothered by the Princess of Wales decision to miss the horse race.

The pals claimed, “Charles is a very thoughtful and considerate man. He is going through cancer himself so he will be entirely understanding. He knows all about good days and bad days, physically and mentally.”

However, a source close to the monarch says otherwise and that the “slightly vague” reasons of “balance,” has shown the “simmering tensions” with King Charles.

The insiders went on saying that it all comes down to the family’s personal preferences.

“There is a perception in some quarters that Kate just doesn’t like racing and so didn’t make the effort.

“That is probably not fair, but you have to wonder if she would have missed Wimbledon, which she adores.”

“I am sure she was genuinely unable to come, yet the last-minute nature of the way it was announced makes the king look disrespected,” the insiders further said.
