- Princess Kate of Wales appears happily with her three children on the grounds of Windsor Castle for the first time after her abdominal surgery in January.
- The image, published on X, appeared on Sunday for British Mother’s Day.
- According to the British news agency PA, the recording was taken a few days ago. Husband Prince William acted as photographer.
Princess Kate underwent a planned abdominal procedure in mid-January and stayed in hospital for 13 nights. It is not known what she is suffering from – only that it is not cancer.
Her health has been the subject of increasing speculation in recent weeks. It was said that Princess Kate wanted her health information to remain private. She will resume official duties after Easter.
Princess Kate sits upright on a lawn chair on a porch. She placed her feet crossed on the floor in front of her. Her arms are wrapped around the waist of her two younger children, Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5), who can be seen to her left and right. Charlotte has sat down with one leg on the armrest. Behind her stands the eldest son Prince George (10), wrapping his arms around his mother. Kate smiles. The children seem downright exuberant.
Thanks for support and wishes for Mother’s Day
X said: “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the past two months. Wish everyone a happy Mother’s Day.” The text was signed with a C for Catherine, a sign that she wrote the text herself. The photo was taken by Kate’s husband Prince William (41), as the post shows.
Kate is reportedly recovering at her home, Adelaide Cottage, in the grounds of Windsor Castle. The photo now published by the palace is likely to have been taken there. However, it seems questionable whether it will end the speculation, as the palace had hoped.
