Princess Kate is gradually returning to her daily routine after undergoing abdominal surgery. The 42-year-old royal was seen visiting a farm shop on Saturday, accompanied by Prince William, and witnesses noted her cheerful and relaxed demeanor.
Their visit to The Windsor Farm Shop, located a short distance from their residence at Adelaide Cottage, was a pleasant surprise.
According to The Sun, the Princess had a busy weekend, spending Sunday morning cheering on Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis as they participated in sports activities.
Recent weeks have seen an increase in speculation and questions about Kate’s health, fueled by memes and conspiracy theories. Concerns were further raised when Kensington Palace shared a doctored photo of the Princess with her children on Mother’s Day, a post for which Kate later apologized.
Initially, Kensington Palace had announced on January 17 that Kate was “unlikely to return to public duties after Easter.” However, a new report suggests that her return to royal engagements may be delayed beyond the previously anticipated timeframe.
According to Roya Nikkhah, Royal Editor for The Sunday Times, information from a close friend and advisor of the Princess indicates that the statement regarding Kate’s return after Easter did not mean immediately after the holiday weekend.
Instead, she is expected to resume her duties sometime after her children’s Easter break at Lambrook school, which concludes on April 17. No specific date or engagement has been announced yet.
In the interim, it is believed that Kate is recuperating in Windsor, with sources close to the family reporting sightings of the mother-of-three at her children’s school in recent weeks.
“Kate has been at Lambrook to support the children,” reads the report, which also adds that Prince William cheered on his daughter, Princess Charlotte, at a football match on Thursday.
Establishing a ‘normal routine’ at home is paramount to Kate right now, with Royal Editor Roya Nikkhah stating that, “After school, it is just the five of them at home, with Kate, rather than a cook or housekeeper, usually preparing dinner.”Â
