Kate Middleton's team spoke out this Thursday (29) in light of the theories that circulated on the Internet and in the media about her health condition. The Princess of Wales was not seen for exactly a month as she was discharged from hospital following abdominal surgery.
After the palace revealed only cursory information about Kate's recovery, a representative reiterated her desire to stay out of the spotlight at this time. “Kensington Palace made the timeline for the Princess’s recovery clear in January and said we would only provide essential updates. These guidelines remain in place,” the spokesperson told Page Six. The team added that Prince William's wife is “doing well.”
Kate has “disappeared” since being admitted to the London clinic, raising doubts about her actual health. Many were surprised that there was no record of the princess leaving the place immediately after her dismissal, as was the case with King Charles III. after his recent prostate surgery.
Given the impact of Middleton's “disappearance”, the office of the British Royal Family issued a short statement this Wednesday (28). “The Princess of Wales, who is still recovering from abdominal surgery, is still doing well,” the team said, according to Hola magazine.

Previously, the palace's first and only statement to date had taken place on the day of Kate's dismissal, January 29th. George, Louis and Charlotte's mother left the ward after being hospitalized for 12 days in London, England, for abdominal surgery.
“The Princess of Wales has returned to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress. The Prince and Princess would like to say a big thank you to the entire London Clinic team, particularly the dedicated nursing team, for the care provided. “The Welsh family remains grateful for the good wishes they have received from around the world,” the royals said at the time.

Bizarre theories
According to Kensington Palace, Middleton has been in seclusion since being released from hospital to recover from surgery and was expected to return to public activities after Easter. However, earlier this month the international press spread rumors that William's wife had fallen into a coma due to alleged complications from the procedure.
A Spanish television program said the princess had been “put into an induced coma” due to a complicated and dangerous postoperative period. However, according to People magazine, the news about Kate's health is false. In fact, a palace source vehemently denied that she was in a coma, calling the story “complete nonsense.”
“This journalist made no attempt to verify the facts of her statement. “It is completely made up, and I am using polite English here: that is absolutely not the case,” said the witness interviewed by the prestigious magazine.
However, rumors that something was wrong with the British royals increased when William did not attend the memorial service for his late godfather, King Constantine II of Greece, at Windsor Palace on Tuesday (27). The shortterm cancellation was justified by “personal matters”.
Comments from netizens that the Princess of Wales's condition could be more serious than the royal family's claims intensified online, and bizarre theories began to circulate. To understand the case, click here.
