While Kensington Palace issued a brief statement affirming that the 42-year-old Princess of Wales is “doing well” in her recovery, the lack of detailed information has left many unsettled. Described by a palace insider as complete “radio silence,” the general public remains in the dark regarding Middleton’s condition.
