MIAMI - The absence of public appearances by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has sparked a torrent of conspiracy theories, memes, comments, and even songs. The interest and creativity of the public seem to be endless and potent. Yet, few can match the ingenuity of Latin social media users, who have drawn on their knowledge of Shakira, Juan Gabriel, telenovelas, music, politics, and even the deductive powers of mamás latinas to depict the frenzy that has engulfed the world as it collectively and eagerly awaiting news of Prince William's wife.
Kate Middleton's absence from public view since Christmas 2023 has led to widespread speculation and various theories. Kensington Palace announced in January 2024 that she was hospitalized for abdominal surgery and was not expected to return to public duties until after Easter. Her request for privacy, especially concerning her children, was emphasized in the statement.
