Kate Middleton made her first public appearance since December, putting an end to wild rumors suggesting she was in a coma or underwent major surgery. TMZ shared photos of her riding in an SUV near Windsor Castle, driven by her mother, Carole.

Earlier, Kensington Palace disclosed Middleton’s recovery from “planned abdominal surgery,” surprising many as there were no prior signs of illness. After her return home, suspicion grew as her absence extended beyond two months.

Responding to rumors, a spokesperson for Middleton clarified that significant updates would be provided as per palace guidelines. Despite this, doubts persisted.

TMZ’s recent photos dispelled speculation, capturing Middleton with a faint smile, reassuring observers of her well-being.
