Christmas seems ages ago, and that was Kate Middleton’s last public appearance, per The News International. The Princess of Wales attended the annual walkthrough in Sandringham on Christmas Eve and was expected to return to her duties after a brief break for the holiday. But as we know, Middleton had “planned abdominal surgery.” Now, it’s been nearly two months since she was last seen, and many are starting to worry.
Several people have taken to social media to express their growing concern about Kate and whether something more serious could potentially be going on. One person tweeted, “I am not trying to be a conspiracy theorist about the situation at all, but it is WILD how much the royal family has shut down press about where Kate Middleton is/why she hasn’t been seen.” While this tweet was more about her being out of the public eye, others were concerned about her health. One user replied to the tweet, saying, “It is so weird! What procedure these days requires people to be in the hospital for 2 whole weeks? My dad just had a pretty hardcore back surgery last week, and he was home after about 48 hours.”
To be fair, Kensington Palace’s statement did say that the Princess of Wales would not return to her duties until around Easter. But the change from her being in the public eye to suddenly disappearing has many people weirded out.
