Prince Williams last moment decision to pull out of the planned appearance at a Thanksgiving Service in Windsor has sparked concern over health of Kate Middleton’s health after Kensington Palace had cited personal matter as the reason.
The event, whose purpose was to commemorate the life of King Constantine of the Hellenes, who died last January and had a special relationship as William’s godfather, was an announcement that came out late by the family.
The unexpected development has come when Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has continued to keep a low profile at Windsor while getting better from an abdominal surgical operation. The palace said Kate “continues to be doing well,” but the prince’s sudden withdrawal fueled speculation about a possible link to his wife’s recovery.
Where is Kate Middleton?
When pushed on the issue, the palace aide sought to reassure them by saying Kate was making “good progress,” but he offered few details. The Duchess has deliberately kept hidden since being operated upon on January 16 at the London Clinic. Notably, her last public appearance was during the royal family’s Christmas Day walk to church from Sandringham House.
Kensington Palace has always been very guarded on Kate’s recovery, firmly pointing out that they would give very little updates. In their first announcement of the surgery, they stated she was unlikely to undertake any further public duties until after Easter. Kate Middleton’s absence sparks conspiracy theories
Meanwhile, the silence of the Palace about Kate’s health and absence from public light has triggered many bizarre conspiracy theories online pertaining to her whereabouts. Many are even speculating that she has a BBL done, Brazilian butt lift.
Though these insinuations are not facts, Kate’s absence from public life has been a cause of concern and an unknown for followers of the royal family.
Kensington Palace Statement on Kate’s health
The Palace adds, “She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible, and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.
The intriguing development comes at a time when King Charles is grappling with health issues that have forced him to scale back his public duties amid receiving unspecified cancer treatment.
Queen Camilla has carried on with the business as usual, and Prince William is left with that fine balance of keeping up with his royal duties while giving priority to his own young family. This week’s late change to the Prince’s schedule and his surprise absence from the service is only going to fuel even more speculation about the possible timetable for Kate Middleton’s recovery and when she may be expected to be well enough to resume public engagements. While this is all speculation, it does raise the question of where is Kate, as the mystery remains open again with no official word on her state or whereabouts.
