The British Royal Family Suddenly Cancels Numerous Planned Engagements Amid an Already Chaotic 2024

King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William.

Today, May 23, Prince William was scheduled to take part in a planned royal engagement—which he abruptly canceled last minute. The decision to do so has nothing to do with Princess Kate’s health, but rather was made after guidance from Buckingham Palace surrounding a surprise general election called by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak yesterday, scheduled for July 4—six weeks from today.
