After a two-month absence from the public eye following her ‘planned abdominal surgery’ in January, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has resurfaced with a touching statement on Mother’s Day, expressing gratitude to her well-wishers.
In her first public statement since the surgery, the Princess shared a heartwarming photo on social media, surrounded by her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, all adorned with radiant smiles. The caption read, “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C.”
While many rejoiced at the return of the Princess and showered praises on the family, keen-eyed royal watchers noticed the absence of Kate’s iconic engagement ring. The blue sapphire ring, previously belonging to Princess Diana, has been a constant fixture on Kate’s finger, leading to speculation about its absence.
Comments flooded social media platforms, with some expressing surprise at the missing ring, while others defended Kate’s choice not to wear it. One user pointed out, “Where is the wedding ring at least band. She wore it to play tennis last year? Glad the kids have their mom.” Another echoed similar sentiments, “Yes, I noticed no wedding band either.”
However, some criticized the focus on the ring, urging others to refrain from unnecessary speculation. “Why are you all asking for her ring? She doesn’t need to wear it all the time, you all need to stop,” one user reprimanded.

Despite the ring-related discussions, there were no speculations about marital troubles, as Prince William was credited for capturing the endearing family photo. Yet, some users observed that Kate appeared weaker, suggesting a possible reason for not wearing the ring. “I also noticed that she’s not wearing the ring. Is she too frail to wear it now?”
Amidst the varied reactions, many well-wishers continued to flood the comments section with love and best regards, welcoming Kate Middleton back after her hiatus. As the Princess of Wales resumes her public engagements, her poignant Mother’s Day message serves as a testament to her resilience and the unwavering support of her admirers.
