Although she hasn’t been seen in the public eye much since December 2023, Kate Middleton has reportedly continued her royal obligations from home.
According to the New York Post, sources close to the Princess of Wales revealed she was working from bed. The current projects she’s focusing on center around improving the lives of newborns in the UK.
Kensington Palace also revealed that Kate Middleton has been very hands-on with the Royal Foundation Centre for Childhood’s (RFCEC) Shaping Us projects. She notably launched the project in January.
The campaign is said to be Middleton’s “life’s work” as she recovers from the abdominal surgery. A Palace spokesperson also told the Telegraph, “The Princess has been kept updated throughout the process.”
Kensington Palace previously announced Middleton had the procedure done and was recovering. The royals did not reveal more details about the surgery. But they did say that the Princess would be resuming her duties after Easter.
Conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton’s health and well-being started to circulate after she posted a heavily edited image on Instagram. The picture featured her with her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. She later admitted to being the one who edited the photo.
Middleton has since been spotted out and about with husband, Prince William.
Three London Clinic Staffers Are Being Investigated Over Alleged Data Breach Involving Kate Middleton
Meanwhile, reports reveal that three staff members at the London Clinic, where Kate Middleton had her surgery done, are being investigated for data breach. Middleton’s records were part of the incident.
In a statement provided to PEOPLE, The London Clinic’s CEO Al Russell spoke out about the breach. “Everyone at The London Clinic is acutely aware of our individual, professional, ethical and legal duties with regards to patient confidentiality.”
Russell also stated the Clinic takes pride in the outstanding care and discretion it aims to deliver to patients. “We have systems in place to monitor management of patient information and, in the case of any breach, all appropriate investigatory, regulatory, and disciplinary steps will be taken. There is no place at our hospital for those who intentionally breach the trust of any of our patients or colleagues.”
The London Metropolitan Police also stated the incident isn’t something it is aware of. A spokesperson of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said there are strict rules on patient data that must be followed.
“I think we all want to get behind the Princess of Wales and Prince of Wales,” the spokesperson said. “And we wish her the speediest of recoveries.”
