The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton disappeared from public sight following a major abdominal surgery. She was photographed sitting in the passenger seat of a black Audi SUV while her mom, Carole Middleton, drove near Windsor Castle on Monday.
At the sighting, she sported black sunglasses and kept her hair down to avoid the press. Her mom on the other part, looked casual as she stared straight ahead. It is unclear where they were going, but it seemed to just be the mother-daughter duo in the vehicle.
Kate Middleton has not been photographed in public since Dec. 25, 2023. Then, she was photographed with her husband, Prince William and their three children for a Christmas morning event at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk, England.
A month later, Kensington Palace announced she had undergone a planned abdominal survey on Jan 16th 2024. After that, she disappeared completely from public view. “The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery,” a statement shared to Instagram on Jan. 17 reads.
The statement also shared that Kate Middleton would be “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” which is March 31 this year. News about her whereabouts went viral late last week after Prince William left an event for undisclosed “personal reasons.”
A Kensington Palace spokesperson told Page Six at the time that Kate was “doing well,” but that didn’t stop the chatter online. Not long after, it was revealed by Buckingham Palace that the Ki g was diagnosed with Cancer but shared no details on the stage or type.
“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” he later shared in a statement. Less than three weeks later, he resumed his duties and met with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Buckingham Palace on Feb. 21.
