Kate Middleton, girlfriend of Britain's Prince William, has declined an offer from Queen Elizabeth to host a table at this week's Royal Ascot.
Kate - who has been dating the future king for five years - was personally invited by the queen to have a table at the world-famous horseracing event in the hospitality tent in the Royal Enclosure on Thursday (19.06.08).
However, she turned the monarch down as she "doesn't want to be standing in for Prince William again and using her royal status".
Last month she represented William at Peter Phillips' wedding at Windsor Castle while the prince was in Africa.

A source told Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Kate was all set to take the table after having been personally invited by the queen. She then had second thoughts and politely declined the offer.
"Princes William and Harry were both invited to Ascot, but neither of them can go, and so Kate was invited to take William's table.
"She loves the races and would have so enjoyed to host her own table, but she said she doesn't want to be standing in for William again and using her so-called royal status.
