Kate Middleton's Senior Staff Have Not "Seen Or Spoken" To Her: Report

Kate Middleton has been out of the public eye since December, fueling online rumors about her condition.

She's recovering from planned abdominal surgery done in January, with Kensington Palace confirming her at-home recuperation.

However, whispers suggest that she might be in an "induced coma," though there's no substantial evidence for this claim.

The Princess of Wales's senior staff members have reportedly been left in the dark about her condition, not knowing about the surgery until the official palace announcement. There's considerable secrecy surrounding her recovery, with few details available and only select individuals aware of the true situation.

Concerns have been heightened because the senior staff haven't seen nor spoken to her post-surgery. Rumors escalated after her operation was unveiled, with claims that only King Charles III and Queen Camilla have visited her. Both privacy and the nurturing of speculation appear to be major themes concerning the current state of the Princess's health.

Amid this, Kate shared a Mother's Day photo that was later retracted and apologized for by news agencies due to manipulation, further fueling conspiracy theories—dubbed "Katespiracy."

In response to the backlash, the Princess explained her amateur photography experiments with editing and expressed disappointment over the controversy surrounding a family picture. Media outlets, including CNN, are now reviewing Kensington Palace's previously distributed photos.
