The first public statement from Princess Catherine following her surgery two months ago is a heartfelt message of gratitude to the public.

She expressed appreciation for the kind wishes and unwavering support received during her recovery from abdominal surgery.

The Prince of Wales recently captured a joyous moment with the royal couple and their three children – George, Charlotte, and Louis – and shared it alongside the message.

This gesture comes amidst growing concerns about her health, as she has not provided any updates, making the release of this photo a poignant celebration of Mother’s Day.

In the much-anticipated statement shared on the Kensington Palace account, Princess Catherine extended warm wishes to everyone on this special Mother’s Day.

The last public sighting of the Princess was noted last week, following her appearance at a Christmas Day church service.

Sporting sunglasses, she was seen riding in a car driven by her mother, Carol Middleton, near Windsor Castle.

The official Royal Family social media account also offered words of comfort, particularly to those who may be mourning the loss of a mother, wishing for a peaceful Mothering Sunday for all.

This year marks the second Mother’s Day that the Queen commemorates without her, following her passing at the age of 96 on September 8, 2022, in Balmoral.

To honor the occasion, a nostalgic black-and-white photograph was shared, capturing the Queen’s radiant smile during a polo tournament back in 1985, where her son participated.

However, the tranquility of Mothering Sunday was disrupted for the Royal Family as a vehicle crashed into the gates of Buckingham Palace in the early hours of the morning.

Dramatic footage emerged showing armed officers apprehending a man for causing criminal damage, as he was instructed to keep his hands on his head during the arrest.
