Kate Middleton has not been seen in public since the new year began and her absence is noted after Kensington Palace announced that she underwent a "planned abdominal surgery" at The London Clinic on Tuesday, Jan. 16.
The Princess of Wales was last seen with her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as they stepped out for the annual Christmas Day walk to St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham in Norfolk. They attended the service along with the other royal family members. After which, they stepped out to greet the well-wishers who had gathered outside to see them.
