Kensington Palace releases photo of Princess Kate following abdominal surgery

The Royal Family has released a photograph of Princess Catherine, the first since her abdominal surgery.
The photo was taken in Windsor, earlier this week, by the Prince of Wales.
The photo of Kate, pictured with her children, was released for Mother's Day.
Along with the cute snap uploaded to Instagram, the Princess of Wales wrote: "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
"Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day. C"
The post comes after social media was flooded with conspiracy theories over her whereabouts as rumours about her health began to spiral.
Last week unfounded online rumours were further fuelled when Prince William unexpectedly pulled out of a memorial service where he was expected to give a reading at the last minute.

Best wishes for a speedy and successful recovery, Princess Catherine. Happy Mother's Day to you. What a fabulous mother you are. You can see how happy your beautiful children are, which reflects you and Prince William being great people/parents. Love from Australia.

I like to think of this photo as giving a well bred very royal finger to social media and all the nutcases that haunt it. In spite of all the nasty, malicious supposedly human beings who troll, the royals keep calmly living their lives of purpose and dedication.

A lovely picture of a happy family which should put H & M firmly in their place .

The world is looking forward to seeing the beautiful Princess Catherine out and about again. She radiates love and authenticity. She's like a breath of fresh air, a true English 🌹. God bless and protect the future Queen! 🙏 Happy Mother's Day to her!
