Kate Middleton has reappeared in public for the first time since her planned abdominal surgery, concluding a two-month break.
She was photographed in a black Audi SUV near Windsor Castle, accompanied by her mother, Carole Middleton.
The sighting quickly sparked speculation and debate on social media. Some people questioned if the photos were real,
and a few even mistook Kate for her sister, Pippa Middleton.
Comments ranged from doubting Kate’s identity to discussing theories about plastic surgery. Despite the chatter, many people also shared their support and well-wishes for Kate’s recovery.
The limited updates on Kate’s condition have only fueled public curiosity. Buckingham Palace’s brief statements haven’t done much to stop the speculation.
Prince William has been making solo appearances, drawing more attention to Kate’s health and their adjustment during her recovery.
Kate’s last public outing was at a Christmas event in December. Since then, updates on her recovery have been infrequent.
With hopes for her return to royal duties after Easter, Kate’s absence continues to generate interest and concern among royal fans.
