Prince William appeared to save Carole Middleton from a royal faux-pas with a heroic gesture at Royal Ascot.
The parents of Kate Middleton were a welcome surprise at the royal event, joining the Prince of Wales, Queen Camilla, and the royal cousins on Wednesday.
In a sequence of photos making rounds on social media, William could be seen holding Carole’s hand after her foot slipped out of her shoe due to her heel getting stuck in the grassy area.
To spare her the embarrassment, the future King of England laughed off the situation as he helped her regain her balance.
During the evening, William appeared to be in a particularly jolly mood, potentially buoyed by the Princess of Wales’ improved health, which was highlighted by her appearance at Trooping the Colour last week.
Moreover, Carole and Michael Middleton made their first appearance at the event following their daughter’s diagnosis with an undisclosed form of cancer.

The event also saw the attendance of Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie, who showcased their competitive spirits by cheering for their favorite horses.
This gathering of the royal family members, marked by William’s chivalrous act, added a touch of warmth and camaraderie to the prestigious event.
