Kate Middleton seen for first time in 2 months after undergoing major abdominal surgery

Kate Middleton was spotted for the first time in over two months since undergoing abdominal surgery.

The Princess of Wales, 42, was photographed sitting in the passenger seat of a black Audi SUV while her mom, Carole Middleton, drove near Windsor Castle on Monday. For the outing, Kate tried to keep a low profile while wearing black sunglasses and her hair down.
Meanwhile, her mom looked casual as she stared straight ahead.

Although it’s unclear where they were going, it seemed to just be the mother-daughter duo in the vehicle. Kate has not been photographed in public since Dec. 25, 2023, when she, Prince William and their three children matched in shades of blue for a Christmas morning event at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk, England.

Less than a month later, Kensington Palace announced that Kate had undergone a “planned abdominal surgery” on Jan. 16, 2024. “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 she would be “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” which is March 31 this year.
However, the topic of Kate’s whereabouts became a trending topic of conversation late last week after Prince William bailed on a memorial service for the late King Constantine II of Greece 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.
