The recovery of Princess Catherine remains the top priority for Prince William and his team, who are determined to dispel the numerous rumors circulating online.
Recently, the Prince of Wales addressed the wild conspiracy theories surrounding his wife, who underwent abdominal surgery earlier this year.
The Princess is currently on a break post-surgery, with Kensington Palace announcing that she will be resting until around Easter.
However, they have chosen to keep her progress under wraps.
Just this week, she was spotted driving near her residence alongside her mother, Carol Middleton.
Amid the ongoing speculations, a spokesperson for the Prince of Wales emphasized that their focus remains on official duties rather than social media distractions.
Simultaneously, Kensington Palace has urged for calm amidst the swirling rumors concerning the Princess’s health.
The Palace expressed frustration over the chaotic nature of social media, which has been inundated with unkind and outlandish speculations regarding Catherine’s extended absence from royal responsibilities.
A representative from Kensington Palace reiterated that the timelines regarding the Princess’s hospital stay and anticipated return to royal duties were clearly outlined from the beginning and remain unchanged.
However, the much-anticipated return of the Princess faced a setback when the army prematurely announced her participation in a Trooping the Colour rehearsal in June.
Following this, the Ministry of Defence swiftly retracted any mention of her involvement from their website as it had not been officially confirmed by the Palace.
In a separate development, Princess Catherine’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, currently a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, condemned the wild conspiracy theories surrounding his niece’s absence from public view.
He emphasized the need for her to have space to recuperate, stating that the intrusive speculations should cease.
Gary highlighted the unfair scrutiny faced by Catherine and urged the public to respect her privacy during this time of recovery.
During her six-week recovery period at Windsor, the Princess is reported to have departed for Sandringham earlier this month for a brief holiday with her children.
Updates on her condition have been limited, with assurances from aides that she is progressing well.
Amidst speculations surrounding Prince William’s recent withdrawal from a memorial service, a Palace source clarified that he continues to work behind the scenes and is scheduled for meetings with representatives from the Duchy of Cornwall.
The family is receiving support from their dedicated staff, including long-serving nanny Maria Theresa Turrion-Borallo, whose role is deemed crucial in the upcoming weeks.
While Catherine embarks on her path to recovery, it is anticipated that there will be a prolonged period of convalescence.
Sources suggest that once the Princess’s care and recovery stabilize, Prince William will resume his official duties.
In light of the Princess’s ongoing recovery, her absence will be felt at various upcoming engagements, including the BAFTAs in February, the annual Commonwealth Day service, the St. David’s Day parade in March, and the St. Patrick’s Day parade later the same month.
Despite being out of the public eye in the coming months, it is likely that she will continue working behind the scenes on her earlier years project.
Official overseas tours for William and Catherine have been put on hold for the foreseeable future.
