Kate Middleton, 42, was photographed on Monday afternoon (5) making her first public appearance since her hospitalization earlier this year, making her “missing” for a while and sparking concern and speculation about her health.
The Princess of Wales was seen sitting in the passenger seat of her mother's car. Carole Middleton, near Windsor Castle, in the United Kingdom. Kate wore sunglasses and appeared to be smiling in the car while her mother was behind the wheel. The images were published by the press and officially made available by the Grosby Group photo agency on Tuesday evening (5).
Kate Middleton had not been seen since Christmas and her “disappearance” sparked speculation that reached an alltime high as internet sleuths' theories ranged from plastic surgery to a coma.
At the time of her operation, Kensington Palace confirmed that she would remain in hospital for up to two weeks and would not resume public duties until after Easter. However, according to the North American website, a source close to Buckingham Palace stated that her closest advisers did not even know that she would undergo surgery.
In light of the conspiracy theories, Kate Middleton's team decided to speak out again as conspiracy theories circulating about the Princess of Wales' whereabouts following her abdominal surgery in January resonated online.
“Kensington Palace made the timeline for the Princess’s recovery clear in January and said we would only provide meaningful updates. “This forecast remains in place,” the adviser told Page Six, reiterating that Middleton is “recovering well.”

According to Chron, Kate Middleton is currently under the supervision of royal doctors and is benefiting from postoperative care at the London Clinic, where dedicated physiotherapists are available with an individual plan and a video call examination by a specialist nurse.
The National Health Service advice in England looked at recovery from abdominal surgery and stated that it takes two to three months to be able to move comfortably again after major surgery involving an incision.
