On the second day of Royal Ascot, Prince William and Carole Middleton were among the attendees. The mother-in-law of the heir to the throne had a slight mishap during the event, but fortunately, Kate's husband rushed to help her.

On Tuesday, the legendary horse race, Royal Ascot, began for five days. The event attracts not only sports enthusiasts but also the British royal family. Among the attendees this year were King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince William, and Carole and Michael Middleton.

It's worth mentioning that this is the first public appearance of Duchess Kate's parents since the revelation of their daughter's diagnosis. According to the Daily Mail, William spent most of his time on the second day of Royal Ascot talking with his in-laws and Zara Tindall.

William extended his hand to his mother-in-law and helped her maintain her balance while she put her shoe back on. The situation was accompanied by shy smiles, which were captured by photographers. Internet users were delighted with the prince's behaviour.
