The image, which the palace said was taken at Windsor by her husband Prince William this week, showed the princess with her three children.
The first official photo of Catherine, Princess of Wales since her abdominal surgery in January has been shared by Kensington Palace to mark Mother’s Day in Britain.
Catherine, 42, spent 13 nights at the London Clinic, near Regent’s Park in central London, following the surgery. Few details about her condition have been released since – a decision that has led to significant social media speculation. The palace has said the condition is not cancer-related.Enacting their “never complain, never explain” strategy, what started as social media chatter about her “disappearance” from public life flipped over into the mainstream media, triggered in part by William’s no-show at a memorial for his Greek godfather, the late King Constantine II, last month.
