“Things are still going well.” With this short statement, the British Palace spokesman denies rumors about the health of Catherine, wife of Crown Prince William.

“Kensington Palace made announcements in January about the Princess’s expected recovery and said we would only provide important updates. This remains in place.”

The question remains whether this limited information will calm speculation about the 42-year-old princess. She may have explicitly asked for privacy regarding her medical procedures, but more and more Britons are questioning the severity of her condition. In January, it was only reported that she had to recover for several months after having gastric bypass surgery, which seems alarmingly long.

Troubles increased on Tuesday when her husband, William, withdrew from a memorial service for Greek King Constantine. Although he was scheduled to read the Bible reading for his late godfather, he canceled the service shortly before the service.

In the immediate aftermath of Catherine’s operation, William had already completed his care schedule for their three children and cautiously began making business visits again. Therefore, the cancellation raised many questions, especially since the Mass was held at the Windsor estate, where William lives.

However, the palace said only that it had nothing to do with his father Charles’ cancer treatment, and cut off further questions, saying it was a “personal matter.”

This only led to increased speculation. The BBC’s royal family correspondent, Daniela Relph, wrote: “My WhatsApp messages show what many are wondering.” In the analysis. “What’s wrong with Kate? Why aren’t they saying anything? Is this why William won’t come?”

Royal family expert Phil Dampier says all this speculation is not surprising at all In the Daily Mail. “If a reason is not given for Prince William’s last-minute cancellation, speculation unfortunately cannot be avoided. This may sometimes be unfounded and unfair, but that’s how social media works.”

Yesterday, William picked up the theme again with a visit to a synagogue. He mentioned his wife’s name in a joint condemnation of rising anti-Semitism, but remained silent about her situation. She received a bouquet of flowers from the reception committee.

What makes the mystery even more surprising is the fact that the palace has been remarkably open about Charles’ health status. There were press reports stating that the king underwent a prostate examination, and another when he was diagnosed with cancer.

Charles also canceled all public appearances, but despite being treated for cancer, photos of him were published. Pictures show him at work, speaking to Prime Minister Sunak and reading greeting cards.

This is how Buckingham Palace ensured the King remained visible:
