The countdown begins for Kate Middleton's return

Kate Middleton is going through a difficult time of health. After celebrating the new year, the royal family announced in mid-January that the wife of the heir to the British throne, Prince William, had been hospitalized to undergo abdominal surgery, which took place on January 16.

Since then, little information has emerged about the current state of health of the Princess of Wales beyond the fact that she had to be admitted to The London Clinic health center for fifteen days. It has also been learned that Kate Middleton is in the Adelaide Cottage house, near Windsor Castle, where she is immersed in her full recovery.

The secrecy surrounding the state of health of Prince William's wife has generated a state of alarm and uncertainty throughout English society, since the last time the Princess of Wales appeared in public was on December 25. at Christmas mass in Sandringham. At the moment, the daughter-in-law of King Charles III does not plan to resume her public agenda until early April, just after Easter.

This health downturn has coincided with the unexpected news of King Charles III's cancer, who has been receiving treatment since the beginning of February. The news was communicated by Buckingham Palace through a statement in which they explained that the cancer had been detected thanks to surgery for an enlarged prostate that he had undergone days ago.

Furthermore, in recent days, we have also learned that the Princess of Wales had hired a new right-hand woman. According to The Times, Kate Middleton and her husband have appointed Lieutenant Colonel Tom White as the princess's new private secretary. A position that he had had free since October 2022 after the departure of Hannah Cockburn-Logie.

For his part, the Prince of Wales has also been reorganizing his closest work circle, now that he has assumed some of his father's royal duties. According to the aforementioned media, Prince William would have hired a former diplomat from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs named Ian Patrick as his private secretary.
