This Thursday, Prince William of Wales visited the Western Marble Arch synagogue, in central London, in what is the first public event after his unexpected absence on Tuesday at the Thanksgiving mass held in St. George's Chapel. from Windsor Castle by King Constantine of Greece. Her withdrawal from that meeting for "personal reasons" caused Kensington Palace to insist that Princess Catherine of Wales "is progressing well" in her recovery after the mysterious abdominal surgery she underwent on December 16. January.
In Prince William's new appointment, to participate in debates about the increase in anti-Semitism in Great Britain, his wife has also been an indirect protagonist. One of those present, Mrs Salt, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor, told the prince today that she misses Kate Middleton "very much": "I'm sorry, I'm sure that if your wife had been well, she would have been here. I miss her a lot. Give her my best wishes, please." Rabbi Daniel Epstein gave her a bouquet of flowers.
Originally, this official engagement that William attended alone was planned to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27 and Princess Catherine of Wales was also scheduled to attend, but finally the royal visit had to be delayed due to the hospitalization of William. the princess and the days to be with the family that Guillermo took after his wife's operation.
Catherine of Wales continues to recover at Adelaide Cottage, her residence located a few meters from Windsor Castle, and is not expected to attend official engagements until after Easter, although her return to public duties will depend on medical advice as the illness approaches. date. The secrecy regarding the princess's health has only multiplied concern and speculation. As stated in her statement announcing her convalescence, it was Catalina herself who asked that the type of ailment that affects her not be disclosed, although British media assure that it would not be cancer.
Earlier this month it was revealed that Middleton enjoyed a getaway with her husband and children to the Sandringham estate in Norfolk while she was convalescent and while the children enjoyed a few days off from Lambrook School, their school near Windsor. It was then said that it was the Princess of Wales who was looking forward to a change of scenery at the country estate east of London that the English royal family usually uses for Christmas and long weekends.
With the family back at Adelaide Cottage, Catherine of Wales's absence was noted again on February 18 at the BAFTA awards, where the princess usually makes a showy appearance alongside Prince William. It was during the gala when the prince revealed one of the few pieces of information we have about Middleton's recovery: that he is not enjoying many hours of movies. "I've seen less than ever, with my wife it's all been a bit... well, I hope we can catch up," replied Carlos III's son when asked if he had seen the nominated films.
For his part, King Charles III also did not attend mass on Tuesday as he continues his cancer treatment, and, in his place, Queen Camilla led the tribute to members of the British royal family, whose reduced ranks made evident the presence of characters previously cornered, such as Prince Andrew or Sarah Ferguson. To this strange absence of Prince William at Windsor Castle, a few hours later was added the news of the death of Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, at the age of 45 and in circumstances yet to be defined.
