The year began with challenges for the British royal family. First, the King Charles III received a cancer diagnosis, which affected his ability to fulfill his royal commitments due to his recovery process. Later, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middletonhas undergone a abdominal operationwho kept it hidden from the public for two months.
Additionally, reports have emerged of an alleged lawsuit by Kensington Palace over the release of a photograph of the Princess of Wales.
The tradition of maintenance private affairs of the British royal family in secret continues, although on this occasion the information was provided to the public through short statements that superficially address the health problems plaguing both prominent royals.
How does Catherine, Princess of Wales feel?
A photo of Kate Middleton after her circulated online this week prolonged absence from the public image due to abdominal surgery. The sudden death of the Princess of Wales has generated a series of speculations on social networks.
American media outlet TMZ was responsible for circulating the image, saying it was captured last Monday 4 March While he was traveling as a co-pilot in a vehicle led by his mother, Carole.

Kensington Palace expressed his discontent with the popularization of the photograph. Mark Stephens, an attorney at the law firm Howard Kennedy, told Newsweek: “It’s essentially an invasion of privacy. It’s harder to sue TMZ because it’s based in the United States, but anyone who reposts it here could be sued.”
Stephens also warned that both the photographer and the photo agency responsible for selling the photo could be sued by the Palace.
In the image, the princess is seen wearing sunglasses and a black coat. Although his facial expression cannot be seen clearly, he appears to be in overall good condition and is making progress in his recovery.
According to the statement released by the royal family when it announced the operation to Prince William’s wife, the princess was not expected to return to her public duties “until after Easter”.
