Here is what happened:
Kate Middleton was spotted for the first time since her abdominal surgery, showcasing her road to recovery. The Princess of Wales had undergone planned abdominal surgery in January and was seen out and about near Windsor Castle in the U.K. on March 4. Accompanied by her mother, Carole Middleton, Kate maintained a low profile during the outing as she continues to recuperate. This marked her first public appearance after being away from the spotlight for over two months, following her surgery.
During the outing, Kate, who is a mother to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, was seen sitting in the passenger seat of a car, donning a black top and large sunglasses. The 42-year-old royal had last been seen publicly during a Christmas day church outing with the rest of the royal family, just weeks before her surgery. Kensington Palace had released a statement at the time of her surgery, stating that she would need to remain in the hospital for 10 to 14 days before returning home for continued recovery, pushing back her return to public duties until after Easter.
As updates on Kate Middleton’s recovery continued, Prince William postponed appearances to stand by his wife and support their family. Kate’s progress was noted in a statement that also expressed gratitude for the care she was receiving. Through this challenging time, the royal family remained grateful for the support and well wishes they received from around the world during Kate’s health journey. The statement emphasized Kate’s positive recovery and the anticipation of her eventual return to full health.
