There’s been so much said about Kate Middleton over the past few weeks that it rather feels like we’re all going in circles, with no definitive answers to be found.
Back in January it was revealed by Kensington Palace that the Princess of Wales was undergoing a “planned abdominal procedure” that would see her hospitalized for 13 days. Her recovery, it was stated at the time, would require her absence from all official royal engagements until after Easter.
In hindsight it was perhaps naive of the Palace to think that the public would simply accept Kate’s absence without doggedly probing for more details as to her condition. In any case, the lack of concrete information has paved the way for all manner of conspiracy theories to bubble furiously to the fore, and at this stage there’s a veritable treasure trove of fresh gossip to be found every day.
