The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is expected to return to her royal duties soon, following her recovery from abdominal surgery. Royal insiders, speaking to Page Six, revealed that despite ongoing public scrutiny, Middleton is anticipated to be back in action by Easter. However, they emphasize the importance of allowing her the space and privacy she needs during this time.
Middleton recently found herself embroiled in controversy after sharing a heavily-edited picture of herself with her children on Mother’s Day. The image, which sparked concerns among experts and netizens due to noticeable distortions, prompted calls from reputable agencies like Reuters and Associated Press to refrain from using the photo.
In response to the criticism, Middleton issued an apology, acknowledging the confusion the edited photograph caused. “Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” she stated.
Despite her efforts to address the situation, concerns persist among royal insiders regarding the toll that the controversy may be taking on Middleton’s recovery. “It’s an awful lot to be under all of this public scrutiny when you are recovering from major surgery,” one source disclosed to Page Six.

Expressing worry over the attention directed at Middleton, the insider added, “The rumor mill — particularly on social media — has gotten out of control, but Kate is recovering well and she will be back by Easter. She just needs to be left in peace. I worry about all this attention on Catherine. She did not look happy at all in the car on Monday.”
As Middleton prepares to resume her duties, it remains essential for the public to respect her privacy and allow her the necessary time to recuperate fully. Despite the challenges she faces, Middleton’s commitment to her royal responsibilities remains steadfast, and her return will undoubtedly be welcomed by supporters around the world.
