Kate Middleton, there has been no news from her for weeks
To make i suspicious Royal watcher it was first and foremost the sudden absence of her husband William at the ceremony in memory of the godfather, King Constantine of Greece, held yesterday in Windsor, in the presence of Queen Camilla (Charles remained at home while undergoing anti-tumor treatments), Anne of England and even the controversial Prince Andrew and ex Sarah Ferguson, usually not included on similar occasions. William was supposed to take his father’s place but, despite living a few meters from the church, he disappeared without offering any explanations.
But did something happen to Kate?
The Royal announcement about William’s absence spoke simply of “personal motivations”, without specifying what it was. But what kept the prince away from a ritual that paid homage to Constantine of Greece, the godfather he was very fond of? Despite media requests, the heir to the throne’s collaborators remained silent.

The news has shaken the entire Royal Family which, after Kate’s mysterious surgery, King Charles’ cancer diagnosis and Sarah Ferguson’s, appears vulnerable as ever.

…and also continues to work
At court they are also keen to let it be known that, despite her convalescence, Kate maintains daily contact with the charities of which she is godmother and supervises the organization of important public commitments scheduled for the summer. All working closely with his new private secretary, a man for the first time. Lieutenant Colonel Tom White, former most trusted squire of Elizabeth II, he is known for that sense of loyalty that led him to never leave the sovereign in his last months of life. A choice, that of Middleton, which is well suited to a future queen.
