Middleton underwent a delicate abdominal operation that has kept her away from public life, with an expected return in April. The limited information about her health has fueled speculation and concerns, prompting investigations by the press.
Despite the intense scrutiny, the British royal family has been tight-lipped about the specifics of Middleton’s health, leading to various speculations.
Initially, there were rumors of a potential cancer diagnosis, swiftly denied by Kensington Palace without divulging further details. Reports also circulated about the princess being intubated postoperatively, which the palace denied.
Recent speculation suggests the possibility of Crohn’s disease, offering a potential explanation for her extended recovery, but no official confirmation has been provided.

Amid the ongoing uncertainty, there have been reports from the UK of a purported call from Meghan Markle to express concern for Middleton’s well-being, emphasizing a desire to set aside past conflicts during this challenging time.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took advantage of their children’s vacation to retreat to Sandringham, a secluded location ideal for recovery away from public scrutiny.
No official update since January
The last official update on Middleton’s health was on January 29, with the Royal House stating her satisfactory progress upon being released from the hospital in Windsor.
Since then, Middleton has reportedly resumed some work from home, closely monitored by a dedicated team of two nurses.
