Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been seen in public for the first time in two months after having planned surgery on her abdomen. Pictures of her were published by TMZ, showing her in a car with her mother near Windsor Castle. This comes after a lot of talk online about her health and where she’s been. The last time she was seen was during Christmas with her husband Prince William and their kids in Norfolk, England. Since then, no one has seen or heard much about her.
Her uncle, Gary Goldsmith, appeared on a reality TV show and mentioned that Kate is somewhere nice, recovering from her surgery. In January, Kensington Palace told everyone that Kate had surgery and wouldn’t be seen until after Easter. They said she wanted to keep things as normal as possible for her kids and keep her health stuff private.
But people on social media and those who follow the royals started guessing all sorts of things about where she could be and why she hadn’t been seen. Kate left the hospital on January 29 after spending two weeks there. Kensington Palace said she was doing well and getting better at their family home in Windsor.
Prince William stopped doing royal stuff while Kate was getting better, but he’s back to work now. Kate is supposed to join the royal family for a parade on June 8.
This talk about Kate’s health and where she’s been comes at a tough time for the royal family. They just shared that King Charles has cancer. So, everyone’s worried about everyone right now.
No big news outlets in the UK have shown the TMZ pictures. Chris Ship, who reports on the royals for ITV, said they’re not showing the pictures to respect Kate’s privacy while she’s getting better. And as far as he knows, no one else in the UK is showing the pictures either.
The royal family usually keeps medical stuff private, but Kate and William have been open about things like pregnancy and mental health in the past. So, it’s a bit strange that they’re being quiet about this. Royal experts think it’s unusual because they’ve been open before.
