If there has been a topic that has made a lot of headlines in recent weeks, it has been the mysterious absence of Kate Middleton. It was in the middle of last January when the crown announced that the Princess of Wales had undergone surgery for an abdominal ailment. Since then, the whereabouts of Prince William’s wife has been a mystery, and the secrecy surrounding this issue has generated a lot of rumors about what could really be happening. Now, Middleton already has a date to reappear in public, according to The Times.

According to the aforementioned media, on the same day of her reappearance Kate plans to give details about her state of health. The British tabloid cites friends of the princess as a source, and assures that she is expected to return to the public sphere on April 17. It must be remembered that when the abdominal surgery was announced, Casa Real already specified that Kate was going to stay away from her public duties until after Easter.

On the other hand, sources explain to The Times that the princes of Wales “are more open when interacting with the public and I can see a world in which the princess could talk about her recovery in her engagements. If she were to do so, so That’s how I would do it.” “They will want to be clear and more open, but they will do it when they feel ready. I hope that is their instinct and it will be their decision. They are not going to rush them,” assures a friend close to the couple.

“In Kate’s case, there is almost no one in the world whose face, body and clothes are judged more than hers. So it’s totally fine that they don’t want to be dragged into a game about what’s going on with their health,” says the source, who has known the couple since their time at the University of St. Andrews.

The source defends that the couple has acted as they announced they would act. “What’s happening is exactly what they said would happen: she would spend two weeks in the hospital and return after Easter. So what if she hasn’t been pushed to wave from the back of a car? She’s not a pony exhibition,” says the couple’s friend to the British media. On the other hand, the aforementioned newspaper indicates that Prince William will withdraw from his public duties during the Easter school holidays of his children, Princes Charlotte, George and Louis.

As we said, the last week has been marked by speculation about the whereabouts of Kate Middleton. Theories about this absence increased since the official profile of the Princes of Wales shared an image of Kate in which the abuse of editing programs could be detected. Furthermore, the latest images of the princess captured in a car have raised suspicions for being false. That is why social networks have been filled with theories about what could actually happen: from a significant complication in her health, to a possible divorce process. Be that as it may, we will have to wait for official updates.
