For nearly three months now, Kate Middleton, the future queen consort of England, has taken a step back from the royal spotlight.
The princess made her last official public appearance on Christmas for the annual walk to Sandringham Church. A couple weeks later, Kensington Palace shared an update on Middleton’s health: She had been hospitalized for an abdominal surgery. While the statement didn’t specify the type of abdominal surgery Middleton underwent, it did say that the public shouldn’t expect to see her again until after Easter.
