00:00 In recent months, the absence of Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, from public view had sparked
00:09 speculation and concern among social media users.
00:13 According to Kensington Palace, the 42-year-old underwent planned abdominal surgery in January
00:19 and is currently recuperating at home.
00:22 Initially scheduled for a 10-14 day hospital stay post-surgery, Kate's extended absence
00:28 has fuelled various theories, including one suggesting she is in an induced coma due to
00:34 surgical complications.
00:37 Despite these claims being dismissed by Buckingham Palace insiders, rumours persist with some
00:43 alleging more severe health issues.
00:45 Spanish TV host Concha Cajela ignited controversy by asserting that Kate was placed in a coma
00:51 post-surgery to save her life.
00:54 While these claims were refuted, they have led to widespread speculation online.

01:04 his absence from scheduled engagements cited as a "personal matter".
01:09 Social media platforms, particularly X, have been inundated with memes and discussions
01:14 about Kate's absence fuelling further speculation.
01:18 Amidst these rumours, King Charles' health issues came to light, overshadowing the spotlight
01:23 on Kate's recovery.
01:24 The 75-year-old monarch's announcement of a cancer diagnosis compounded concerns within
01:30 the royal family.
01:32 Despite assurances from Kennington Palace regarding Kate's return to public duties
01:37 after Easter, reports from local UK media suggest a longer recovery period of up to
01:43 nine months.
01:45 As the public awaits further updates, Buckingham Palace has yet to disclose specific details
