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.
Royal News – Royal Relief With Kate Spotting
The photo marks the first time that Kate has been seen since Christmas Day at Sandringham with Prince William, their children and the rest of the Royal Family.
The published photo shows Carole Middleton driving an Audi near Windsor Castle, with Kate in sunglasses in the front seat of a 4×4 Audi. The snaps were shot around 9am, leading the Daily Mail to suggest that the mother-daughter had just dropped off Kate’s kids at school.
Kate’s parents live in Bucklebury, Berkshire, a short distance from the Prince and Princess of Wales’ home base in Windsor.
A source said that “Her parents are an enduring factor in the upbringing of their grandchildren” and will be “a reassuring presence when she goes back to Windsor to recuperate.”
Kate and Prince William have three kids: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, over for sleepovers.
