Kate Middleton was spotted for the first time in over two months since undergoing abdominal surgery.
The Princess of Wales, 42, was photographed sitting in the passenger seat of a black Audi SUV while her mom, Carole Middleton, drove near Windsor Castle on Monday.
However, Middleton tried to keep a low profile while wearing black circular sunglasses.
She wore her signature brunette locks down and appeared to be wearing a black coat.
Meanwhile, her mom looked casual as she stared straight ahead.
It’s unclear where they were going or what they were doing, but it seemed that it was just the mother-daughter duo in the vehicle.
Middleton has not been photographed in public since Dec. 25, 2023, when she, Prince William and their three children matched in shades of blue for a Christmas morning event at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk, England.
Less than a month later, Kensington Palace announced that Middleton underwent a “planned abdominal surgery” on Jan. 16, 2024.
“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,” a statement shared to Instagram on Jan. 17 reads.
The statement also shared that she would be “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” which is March 31 this year.
However, the topic of Middleton’s whereabouts became a trending topic of conversation late last week after Prince William bailed on a memorial service for the late King Constantine II of Greece for undisclosed “personal reasons.”
A Kensington Palace spokesperson told Page Six at the time that Middleton is “doing well,” but that didn’t stop the chatter online.
Middleton’s rep later exclusively told Page Six that she is still “doing well” and will continue her recovery.
“Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates,” her rep told us on Feb. 29. “That guidance stands.”
Around the same time the Palace announced Middleton’s health ordeal, they also announced that King Charles III was undergoing a routine procedure on his prostate.
Buckingham Palace would later reveal that the King was diagnosed with cancer, but they have not released details on the stage or type of cancer.
“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” he later shared in a statement.
Less than three weeks later, he resumed his duties and met with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Buckingham Palace on Feb. 21.
