Royal fans breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Middleton looking well in photos from the event. In the comments of an Instagram post about the Wellbeing Garden visit, followers expressed their joy over her return, with many hinting at concern when she dropped out of the Royal Ascot.
One follower wrote, “Lovely see her out again…but take your time lovely lady, to be well again…enjoy your family time xx.”
Another shared, “So beautiful! So lovely to see her back!!”
Someone else commented, “So lovely to see you out and about, did get worried when you cancelled Ascot xx.”

On June 18, Middleton pulled out of attending the Royal Ascot despite initially being on a carriage lineup list for the procession. Her mother, Carole Middleton, attended, as did her husband, Prince William. She also missed the 2024 Royal Ascot while undergoing chemotherapy after announcing her cancer diagnosis.
In March 2024, the mom of three revealed she had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer. She kept out of the spotlight for an extended period of time while undergoing treatment. By January 2025, Middleton announced she was cancer-free.
Hopefully, the future queen is feeling well and rejuvenated after taking some time away from her royal duties.
