Kate fans all saying same thing after Princess makes long awaited appearance
Princess Kate has been spotted for the first time since her abdominal operation in January - and royal fans are all saying the same thing.
The Princess's legion of supporters have been sharing their joy online after seeing her out and about after weeks of speculation as to how she was recovering. Now US gossip site TMZ has obtained images of the Princess being driven in a 4X4 Audi close to Windsor Castle at around 9am. It is believed that her mother Carole Middleton was driving the car and that the pair were taking Kate's children to school. The last time Kate was seen in public was on Christmas Day when she joined the rest of the royals on their annual visit to Sandringham church.
Expressing their happiness at seeing the beloved Princess, one social media user said: "What a treat to see her." Another added: "With her lovely mum as well." A third account wrote: "Wonderful to see her out and about getting some fresh air. Hope she takes it easy. Her health comes first and foremost."
While the images were pubished in the US, UK media outlets have agreed to omit them from reporting after Kensington Palace asked for privacy while she recovered. On January 17 the Palace announced that Kate had been admitted to hospital for a planned operation the previous day, and while they did not specify the exact nature of her condition they said it had been successful.
Kate was discharged after nearly two weeks at the London Clinic in Marylebone and has since been convalescing at home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, reports the Express. The Palace assured royal watchers that Kate would be out of action until Easter at the earliest, following medical advice, however speculation has mounted as to her whereabouts.

One person who does claim to know where she has been resting is her uncle Gary Goldsmith, who was quizzed by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best when he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house last night. Mr Goldsmith told the hosts when asked if she would be watching: "If she is sitting behind a sofa, yes! It'll be a nice one in a nice house somewhere, I can guarantee that!"
The businessman has previously said the Princess is "the most spectacular person I've ever met" and has promised not to say anything damaging about her in the house. He told The Sun : "She [Kate] is beautiful on the outside, but more beautiful on the inside and really is a doting mum - so the way the monarchy is moving, it’s family-centric. That’s why I got so upset with Harry and Meghan because you don’t put a stick into that spoke and reinvent history."
