London, March 4 – The first shot immortalizing Princess Kate Middleton for the first time after abdominal surgery is by ‘Chi’. A photo ‘stolen’ from a distance while the future queen is in the car with her mother, in the passenger seat, her face partially covered by a pair of sunglasses.
More than a month has passed since the operation she underwent in London in January which kept the United Kingdom in suspense, also due to the limited official information received from Kensington Palace and which made people think of something serious for the heir’s wife to the British throne William, also given his long convalescence.
In the exclusive photo of the Italian weekly, the Princess of Wales can be seen in the passenger seat of an Audi 4X4 driven by her mother near the park surrounding Windsor Castle, not far from the cottage where the Galles have lived since 2022 – with their three children George, Charlotte and Louis – and where William’s wife is spending her long post-operative convalescence.
Sunglasses aside, the shot seems to clear the field of inferences and conspiracy theories about phantom serious health complications or hypotheses of hospitalization prolonged beyond measure in bed: inferences that have multiplied in the wake of the continuing very strict confidentiality in communications about his health, in a context in which which the royal family also has to deal with the cancer recently diagnosed in King Charles III (who, moreover, has already shown himself in public even after that announcement); with William’s unexplained last-minute defection last week at a solemn commemoration of Constantine of Greece; or even with the week of rest just imposed on Queen Camilla’s public agenda after a month of hyperactivity.
“Although tired – writes the weekly Chi – Kate seems to be recovering and it is likely that in the next few days she will be seen in public to reassure the English”. However, the latest indication on the prognosis concerning the princess, filtered so far officially from the privacy wall erected around her, the initial statement remains according to which she is not destined to return to her commitments as a representative of the dynasty until “after Easter”.
