However, earlier on Monday, there were reports that Middleton made her first public appearance, where she was looking fit and healthy after undergoing abdominal surgery two months ago in footage published by UK daily The Sun on Monday. Kate's health has been a source of widespread speculation following a controversy over an edited family photograph uploaded by Kensington Palace.
In the purported video of Kate's first appearance in public, she was seen dressed in a hoodie and leggings and carrying her shopping bags while strolling down the street beside her husband Prince William at a farm shop in Windsor near their home. "These pictures are the answer. She’s obviously recovering well from the quite serious operation she had in January," said Sun photographer Arthur Edwards.
