Recovery After Planned Surgery
The 42-year-old future queen underwent planned abdominal surgery at the London Clinic on January 16. After a 13-day hospital stay, Kensington Palace confirmed she was “making good progress” in recovery following her return home.

Kate’s disappearance from public events since a Christmas Day walk with other royals led to widespread curiosity about her health. This first official photo puts those rumours to rest, showing her in high spirits surrounded by family.
