You know the old saying about photography?
But when it comes to Duchess Kate, she doesn’t need an image to say a thousand words.
she really needs to say it Five words. Well, one acronym and one actual word will suffice:
STFU already!
On Sunday, the Princess of Wales stunned the world by sharing a photo of herself and her three children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 – to commemorate Mother’s Day in the UK.
The snapshot shows Middleton sitting cross-legged and includes the caption:
“Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the past two months. We wish you all a happy Mother’s Day.”
That opening sentence is, of course, a reference to Middleton’s abdominal surgery in January, which captivated and confused the nation.
Kensington Palace confirmed the process at the time, but did not provide further details.
“She is expected to remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days before returning home to continue her recovery,” the royal family said in a statement in January.
“Based on current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to official duties until after Easter.”
It’s a pretty long recovery period.
As you can imagine, such vague messages and a very long recovery schedule have many people wondering where and how Mr. Middleton is doing.
Doctors have put Middleton into a coma, with some theorizing that she may be in a dire condition.
These scary rumors had such a strong reaction that Prince William responded to them with a brief statement of his own a few days ago.
“His focus is on his work, not social media,” a spokesperson simply said on behalf of William in People magazine’s Wednesday cover story.

Meanwhile, the new photo comes just days after Middleton was spotted in a car with her mother Carole Middleton near her home in Windsor for the first time since surgery.
This is the first time Duchess Kate has been photographed in public since December 25th.
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate,” the palace added on January 17.
“She hopes the public understands her desire to maintain as much normalcy as possible for her children, and that she wants to keep her personal medical information private.” her hope.
“Kensington Palace will therefore only provide updates on His Royal Highness’ progress if there is significant new information to share.”
But about a month later, Middleton’s representatives issued a follow-up as conspiracy theories continued to circulate online.
“Kensington Palace revealed the Princess’s recovery timeline in January, but we will only provide important updates,” the spokesperson told the New York Post on February 29.
“That guidance is valid.”
