The British royal family has had some very tough weeks. The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, underwent surgery for an abdominal ailment that ended up becoming complicated. On the other hand, the news came to light that King Carlos III suffers from cancer. There is little information that has been known about the state of health of both. However, this Sunday the Princess of Wales has reappeared for the first time on social networks this year, and she has done so with an image in which she appears with her children on the occasion of Mother’s Day.
The first image of Prince William’s wife was shared this Sunday through the official Instagram account of the Princes of Wales. In it, a smiling Kate appears hugged by her eldest son, Prince George (10), and surrounded by her two other children, Prince Louis (5) and Princess Charlotte (8). They all look happy in front of the camera.
After almost fifty days away from her responsibilities as an official member of the British Royal Family due to her convalescence, the Princess of Wales wanted to thank everyone for the expressions of affection and all the support she has received during this period of time. “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the past two months. Wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day. C,” she captioned the post.
After this publication, the question was whether the image was recent or if it was a reused archive photo. “The Prince of Wales, 2024,” reads the caption, noting that it was taken by the same heir to the throne so far this year. Likewise, Hello magazine claims that the image was taken by Prince William earlier this week. Therefore, it would be the first image of Middleton after his operation.
Rumors about Kate Middleton’s health gained strength after her prolonged absence from the public scene. It should be remembered that the only indications from Casa Real were that she underwent surgery on her abdomen. This secrecy fueled a great deal of speculation about her possible state of health. The last appearance of the Princess of Wales was captured a little over a week ago. Some paparazzi managed to photograph her while she was traveling in a car with her mother, Carole Middleton, an image that raised doubts about her authenticity.
Be that as it may, we will have to wait to know more details, but everything indicates that Middleton is recovering at home and with her family. Thus, the princess is enjoying, for the first time in a long time, being a full-time mother and not having to juggle family life, royal work and charitable commitments. Some media point to her return to engagements after the Easter holidays, but for the moment the royals have not communicated anything about it.
