It has been two months since the last public appearance of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. The Palace’s decision to keep her medical record secret has caused a lot of criticism. However, it has been revealed that her abdominal surgery was planned and the condition was noncancerous. The Princess has cleared her schedule and will not be returning to her royal duties until Easter.

With a series of recent royal health scares, including King Charles’ cancer diagnosis, speculation continues to grow online. This has led to calls for the royals to be more open with the public. For instance, questions arose when Prince William was absent from his godfather’s, the late King Constantine of Greece, memorial.

The absence was attributed to an unspecified “personal reason.” Phil Dampier, a royal biographer, emphasizes that while the royals have a right to privacy, these are not normal times. He believes that if no reason is given for Prince William’s last-minute cancellation, wild and unfair speculations will arise, fueled by social media.

The Palace spokesperson has reassured well-wishers that Kensington Palace made it clear in January about the timeline of the Princess’ recovery. They promised to provide significant updates, and so far, the Princess is doing well. However, some experts urge the Palace to be more open and transparent to avoid speculation. They argue that more information should be shared, especially given the current health concerns surrounding the King and the Princess.

While the Palace’s reassurances may not be enough to keep the public at peace about Kate’s health, we must trust them until they release more details. It is important to respect the privacy of the Royal Family while also ensuring that the public remains well-informed. Let’s hope for the Princess’ speedy recovery and send our love and support to her and the entire Royal Family.
