Several conspiracy theories surrounding the whereabouts of Kate Middleton have surfaced since she was released from the hospital for abdominal surgery.
In January, Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales, 42, had undergone a “planned abdominal surgery.”
“The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery,” read a statement on Instagram, adding that Middleton was “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.”

However, a palace insider claimed to the Daily Express UK that she was “back working from her bed” at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate and preparing to return to public duties around Easter.
After Middleton was photographed for the first time nearly two months after her hospitalization and released a picture with her and Prince William’s three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, on March 10, fans’ conspiracy theories about the royal have grown even more.
