Kate Middleton FINALLY Seen In Public After Shock Abdominal Surgery

British royal family news reveals that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales has finally been spotted in public, weeks after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.

TMZ published pics of the princess in the passenger seat of a car driven by her mother Carole Middleton.

The sighting puts to rest rumors that Kate is seriously ill, and even wild speculation that she was no longer alive.

Yes, it had come to that, after the palace stubbornly refused to acknowledge her health after Prince William pulled out of a scheduled event last week.

That last minute change ignited fierce conspiracy theories about Kate’s well-being, with the rumor mill on fire that she was in dire straits.
