Kate Middleton skipped the Royal Ascot last week, which apparently caused huge amounts of drama at the palace (the word "panic" was used) due to her pulling out last minute. And now a source is out here telling the Daily Beast that the Princess of Wales is "recalibrating her entire life.

After Kate Middleton's name appeared on the carriage procession list at Royal Ascot, a corrected list was issued that showed the Princess of Wales wasn't attending the event. What happened behind the scenes?

Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton issued a new photo of William on Saturday, his 43rd birthday, but otherwise hid themselves away from public view as Kate “recalibrat [es] her entire life” after a bruising week in which she cancelled a high-profile public appearance.
