Princess of Wales Seen in Public Following Surgery as Uncle Joins Celebrity Big Brother

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, was recently spotted in public for the first time after undergoing abdominal surgery following months of absence. The sighting, near Windsor Castle, marks a return to the public eye for the future queen, who had not been seen since Christmas Day when she joined other members of the royal family at Sandringham in Norfolk.

The 42-year-old princess was admitted to the London Clinic for her scheduled surgery on 16 January, where she received treatment similar to that of Prince Philip. US celebrity news site TMZ released a photo of Kate seated in a black Audi alongside her mother, Carole Middleton, sporting dark sunglasses during the outing.

In a separate turn of events, Kate’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, has made headlines for joining the cast of Celebrity Big Brother, which premiered after a six-year hiatus. Goldsmith, the younger brother of Carole Middleton, attended the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate at Westminster Abbey back in 2011.

During the show’s debut, host AJ Odudu questioned Goldsmith about whether the Princess of Wales would be watching – to which he jestingly responded that if she were, it would likely be from behind a sofa. Other notable contestants on the show include Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, Fern Britton, Nikita Kuzmin, and Colson Smith.

Amidst her recovery journey, Kate was discharged from the hospital after a 13-day stay, with Kensington Palace confirming her progress and expressing that she’s on the road to full recovery. Her return to official duties is anticipated post-Easter, following her husband Prince William’s temporary royal duties handover to care for her and their children during her hospitalization.

Details regarding the specifics of Kate’s surgery have been kept private, with the palace clarifying that it wasn’t cancer-related. The Princess of Wales’ health has been of concern to royal watchers, and her recent appearance has sparked hope and curiosity about her well-being and future engagements.
