Royal Family's Reserved Stance on Kate Middleton's Surgery Sparks Speculation

The royal family's discreet approach to Kate Middleton's recent abdominal surgery has stirred speculation as their silence continues. While an official statement from Kensington Palace acknowledged the planned surgery via the Waleses' social media earlier this week, the family has refrained from elaborating on the procedure, which, as stated, requires a two-week recovery period for Kate.

In contrast, Queen Camilla, during her first public engagement after the surgery news broke, provided an update on the monarch's health. Responding to a concerned fan at the opening of a new 'Safe Space' at Aberdeen Art Gallery, she assured, “He's fine, thank you very much. Looking forward to getting back to work.” Notably absent from her remarks was any mention of Princess Catherine’s health condition.

Observers couldn't help but notice the silence on Kate's surgery, especially amid reports of ongoing tensions between Kate and Camilla. According to an In Touch source, the respective spouses of King Charles and Prince William have been in "constant conflict" over various issues. The insider claimed that Charles is displeased with the conflicts, and the strained relationship between Kate and Camilla seems to have drawn him, and Camilla, closer to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

While Kate's husband was seen visiting her at a private London Clinic on Thursday, Jan. 17, he, too, has remained off the radar. The royal family's reserved stance on Kate Middleton's surgery has fueled speculation and raised eyebrows.
