After wild conspiracy theories surfaced on social media, Kensington Palace dismissed concerns about the Princess of Wales’s health.
Catherine’s spokesperson stated: “We were very clear from the outset that the Princess of Wales was out until after Easter and Kensington Palace would only be providing updates when something was significant.”

It follows rumors that were aroused by the Prince of Wales’s unexpected absence from a memorial service for Greece’s late King Constantine on Tuesday.
While Catherine was reported to be “doing well” following her recovery from abdominal surgery in January, the Palace would only provide a “personal matter” as the explanation.
The Princess’s condition has not been disclosed further, but it has been determined not to be cancerous.
On January 16, the Princess was checked into the exclusive London Clinic in order to undergo surgery. After a thirteen-day hospital stay, she went back to her home in Windsor.
In order to care for his wife and their three children, Prince George, who is ten years old, Princess Charlotte, who is eight years old, and Prince Louis, who is five years old, Prince William temporarily withdrew from his royal duties.

Christmas Day was Catherine’s final public appearance with the royal family.
After visiting a synagogue on Thursday, the Prince declared that he and his spouse “are extremely concerned about the rise in antisemitism.”
Following his call for a “as soon as possible” end to the Israel-Hamas war and an increase in humanitarian aid for Gaza during a visit to the British Red Cross headquarters in London last week, the future king paid a visit to the Western Marble Arch Synagogue.
William listened to the young people’s first-hand accounts of how the increase in anti-Semitism in British streets has impacted Jewish students nationwide.

“You’ve heard it from me, okay, anti-Semitism has no place in society. I’ve said that before and I’ll say it again,” he said to the children. And listening to all of your personal experiences: I’m sorry you had to go through that; antisemitism has no place and shouldn’t occur, and Catherine and I are both very concerned about the rise in antisemitism that you two have discussed so beautifully this morning. I’m here today to tell you all that people do care and do listen, and we can’t allow that to continue.”
