Kate Middleton’s recent absence from public view has sparked intense speculation about her health and whereabouts. Following a January surgery, the palace provided minimal updates, only stating she was “doing well.” The anticipation of her return heightened when the Minister of Defense mistakenly announced her attendance at an upcoming event. However, Kensington Palace clarified they were not consulted, casting doubt on her participation.

The confusion deepened as the event’s details, including Kate’s involvement, were removed from official sources. Kate’s prolonged absence contrasts sharply with her usual public presence, with her last appearance raising questions about its authenticity. Additionally, a Mother’s Day photo she shared was later deemed edited, prompting explanations from Kate herself about her editing experiments.

Kensington Palace affirmed they wouldn’t reissue the unedited photo. Amidst the silence from the palace, speculation about Kate’s condition continues to grow.
