The Princess of Wales is recovering from abdominal surgery
The British monarchy is breathing a sigh of relief after seeing the first image of Princess Kate Middleton since undergoing surgery in January. The future Queen of England was photographed in a car next to her mother, as they drove near Windsor Castle, where the Princes of Wales reside.
His appearance puts an end to the speculations and rumors that had been generated on social networks and in the media about his state of health. Kensington Palace reported in January that Princess Kate had undergone abdominal surgery and needed a recovery period, but gave no further details. This caused concern among many citizens of the United Kingdom, who see it as a symbol of the renewal of the crown.
The British monarchy, in crisis
The reappearance of Princess Kate comes at a delicate time for the British monarchy, which has had to face several problems in recent months. One of the most serious has been the illness of King Charles of England, who suffers from cancer and is retired from public life at the Sandringham residence. His son, Prince William, has assumed his duties as head of state.
In addition, the British monarchy has had to deal with the controversies arising from the departure of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle from the royal family, as well as accusations of child abuse against Prince Andrew, son of Queen Elizabeth II . All these scandals have diminished the popularity of the institution, which seeks to regain the trust of its subjects.
