What is really going on with Princess Kate right now? Prince William's wife has caused a lot of concern among many royal fans in recent weeks. In early January, the palace announced that Kate would undergo abdominal surgery. As she had to recover from it, all public appearances by the Princess of Wales were canceled until Easter. In fact, Kate hasn't been seen in public since Christmas.
Wild rumors about Princess Kate's absence are circulating online
But since the palace has yet to release any details about Kate's health or share any photos or health updates, the rumor mill started churning soon after the announcement. Among other things, there is speculation about which operation Kate had to undergo and how she is doing now. With each day the princess spends away from the public eye, her curiosity seems to grow. After all, such a long period without a public appearance, during which not even paparazzi photos were taken of the mother of three, is more than unusual. The fact that Prince William just canceled an important meeting for personal reasons didn't make the situation any better.
Some absurd theories quickly made the rounds on the internet about what Kate's absence actually entailed. Some royal fans have speculated, for example, that there is marital drama between her and William, in which the heir to the throne has turned violent. Other posts speculate about a secret pregnancy, and others even fear that the palace may be trying to cover up Kate's untimely death. Spanish media reported that the 42-year-old man was in a coma. However, the palace immediately denied it.
Plastic surgery, a TV show or a secret love story? The funniest theories about Princess Kate's absence
While many of these absurd conspiracy theories are certainly driven by concern for Princess Kate, many X users, previously on Twitter, simply poke fun at the “Princess Kate is missing” theories. There, for example, Kate's disappearance is explained as a joke about her participation in the film “The Masked Singer” or a game of hide and seek that simply “got out of control.” Or did Kate's hairdresser make a mistake and the royal will now have to wait for the hairstyle to grow out? In yet other posts, users speculate that Kate has eloped with Pete Davidson, 30, is undergoing cosmetic surgery or that she could be world-famous artist Banksy.
And of course, no internet announcement about the royal family is complete without their problem child, Prince Harry. According to some online pranksters, Kate has either run away with her three children to Harry and Meghan in Montecito, or even is madly in love with her brother-in-law and is now suffering from love sickness.

While the internet allows for fantasy about Kate, her official spokesperson has now responded to the numerous conspiracy theories in a statement to Page Six: “Kensington Palace made it clear in January how long the princess's recovery will take and that we will only provide important updates. This timetable remains in place .” He also made it clear that the princess was doing well.
