Prince William and his wife Catherine were recently captured on film at a farm shop near their Windsor residence, marking the first public appearance of Kate since undergoing abdominal surgery two months ago for an undisclosed condition. The footage, published by The Sun newspaper, showed the couple smiling as they strolled together with shopping bags in hand. The video was reportedly filmed on Saturday in Windsor, located west of London.
An eyewitness, Nelson Silva, who recorded the video, described Kate as appearing happy and relaxed, noting that the couple seemed pleased to be out shopping and mingling with others. The Kensington Palace office declined to provide any comments regarding the footage.
According to palace sources, Kate, 42, is expected to resume her official duties post-Easter, likely after her children return to school on April 17. The Sun featured the headline “Great to see you again, Kate!” on its front page, explaining that they chose to release the footage in an effort to counter the rampant speculation circulating on social media platforms.
While the palace has refrained from disclosing specific details about Kate's health condition, they have clarified that it is not related to cancer. In a previous attempt to share a family photo on Mother's Day in the U.K., the palace faced backlash when the image was deemed manipulated by news agencies, leading to further conjecture. Kate later issued a statement acknowledging her editing practices and apologized for any confusion caused by the photo.
