On Christmas Day, Catherine, Princess of Wales, attended the service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, England, dressed from head to toe in royal blue.
She went to church with her husband, Prince William; and her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as she had done in previous years.
Waving to the assembled crowd and cameras,
“She looked beautiful for the occasion,” he said. Country town.
The princess has not been seen in public since.
Three weeks later, on January 17, Kensington Palace announced that Catherine, 42, formerly known as Kate Middleton, had been admitted to the London Clinic to undergo “a scheduled abdominal surgery”.

Two of the most prominent members of the British royal family were now facing health problems.
As news began to return to normal (on Wednesday, Charles was photographed being taken from his home, Clarence House, and resuming some official business, including a meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak), rumors began to emerge again about Princess of Wales. .
Although also William, 41 years old he reduced his royal duties during his wife’s convalescence, this week he withdrew from a planned appearance at a memorial service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor for his godfather, King Constantine of the Hellenes, who died in January 2023.
That led a palace source to address the latest twist in the saga, and perhaps try to stop the rumors, in language that did just the opposite.
The princess, the source told People, “still good”.
William’s absence from the memorial and the reason given by the palace (an undisclosed personal matter) have only fueled continued speculation about Kate’s health.
Little is known about his medical procedure, leading to much speculation, concern, and conspiracy theories.
What type of surgery did Kate have?
This remains a mystery to the public.
Abdominal surgery can be anything from appendectomy to laparoscopy.
On 17 January, Kensington Palace declared the surgery a success.
He provided no details about Kate’s diagnosis or prognosis, other than her condition.”It wasn’t cancerous.“.
The palace added:
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes the public understands her desire to maintain as much normalcy as possible for her children; and your desire to keep your personal health information private.
The palace released another statement at the end of the month, informing the public that Kate had been discharged from the London Clinic.
Where’s Kate?
At home, we read in a note. The palace said the princess would recover Adelaide Cottage at Windsor Home Park after leaving the hospital.
His office added that he was “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter”.
How is Kate’s family?
William visited his wife shortly after surgery and was photographed leaving hospital.
But according to People magazine, Kate’s three children did not see their mother in the hospital.
This follows the London Clinic’s visitor guidelines, which state that “we do not allow children or babies to visit”.
(Special requests must be approved by hospital staff.)
Instead, the princess is said to have remained in touch with her children FaceTime.
The palace has called several conspiracy theories “utter nonsense.”
The lack of information about Kate led to specialization speculations on your health.
A Spanish journalist named Concha Calleja claimed to have spoken to a source within the royal family.
The source reportedly told Calleja that Kate confronted serious complications after surgery, requiring “drastic” action to save his life.
“The decision was to put her in a medically induced coma,” Calleja told the Spanish news program “Fiesta.”
“They had to intubate her.”
In its initial statement, Kensington Palace said it would only provide updates on the princess when there was “new and important information to share.”
But the palace moved to address Calleja’s claims, calling them “nonsensical nonsense” and “ridiculous.”
