Following weeks of intense speculation over the Princess of Wales' health and recovery, Kate Middleton is likely to address the rumours surrounding her abdominal surgery herself and in person, according to a close friend of the royal.
In January, the Palace announced that Kate had undergone a planned surgery and would not return to royal duties until after Easter. Despite sharing that the Princess had requested privacy while she recovers, their decision not to share any update about her condition led to a whole host of rumours and 'wild conspiracy theories' online, with some international journalists even claiming that Kate was in a coma - something the Palace has since refuted.
