Representative of Princess of Wales Denies Online Theories About Her Recovery

Representatives of Kate Middleton have responded to speculation about the "disappearance" of the Princess of Wales. They reaffirmed Kensington Palace's schedule for Middleton's recovery following her abdominal surgery in January and said she is "doing well". "Kensington Palace clarified the schedule for the princess's recovery in January and we will only provide important updates. This notice remains in effect," their representatives said. Middleton has not been seen since Christmas, leading to various theories on the internet, from cosmetic surgeries to speculation about a coma. Middleton's operation coincided with the announcement of King Charles III's cancer diagnosis and was not even disclosed to her closest advisors at first. As Middleton continues to recover, Prince William has resumed his public duties.
