Kate Middleton disappeared to? It's a question that has stirred up a storm of speculation among royal watchers. The Duchess of Cambridge has been notably absent from public view for nearly two months, fueling a flurry of conspiracy theories, ranging from the curious to the downright outlandish.
The official explanation, as provided by the Royal Family on January 17, is that Kate underwent planned abdominal surgery and is expected to return to her public duties after Easter. However, this hasn't quelled the doubts and suspicions of some ardent royal fans.
Social media platforms have become hotbeds of conjecture, with users concocting their own theories about the Duchess's whereabouts and well-being. Some have pointed to the stark contrast between Kate's previous appearances—such as the poised photo ops shortly after childbirth—and her current prolonged absence.
Renowned author Rachel Hawkins, known for her insights into royal matters, added fuel to the fire with comments highlighting the unusual nature of Kate's situation. Despite official reassurances from the Palace, speculation continues to mount, driven by the lack of recent sightings or updates directly from Kate herself.
Concerns over Kate's health intensified when Prince William unexpectedly cancelled his attendance at a memorial service, citing a «personal matter.» While Kensington Palace affirmed that Kate is progressing well in her recovery, this hasn't stemmed the tide of speculation.
