Concerns have been raised recently about Princess Kate's health after she underwent abdominal surgery in January and hasn't been seen in public since.
Kate was admitted to the London Clinic – the private hospital where the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate – for a planned operation on January 16.
After that, Kate left the hospital almost two weeks later on January 29.
She returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to be reunited with her three children, Kensington Palace said.
But details of the princess’s condition have not been revealed with Kate wishing to keep her medical information private.
The Palace has previously said the princess's condition is not cancer-related.
