The Truth Behind Princess Catherine’s Abdominal Surgery and Recovery: Debunking Conspiracy Theories

2024-03-19 18:41:00

(CNN Spanish) — In mid-January, Catherine, Princess of Wales, underwent an announced abdominal surgery. Shortly after, she left the hospital, but since then conspiracy theories about her situation have been on the rise. This is what has happened in the last few months

December 25, 2023 was the princess’s last public appearance until the video that emerged this Monday.

On January 16, Catherine was admitted to the London Clinic private hospital to undergo abdominal surgery.

On January 17, it was learned that King Charles III would go to the hospital to receive treatment for an enlarged prostate. Later, he underwent surgery for benign enlargement of the prostate. In February, it was revealed that the monarch was suffering from a form of cancer. Buckingham Palace did not say what type of cancer it was, but said he is receiving treatment.

On January 29, Catherine left the hospital and returned to Windsor to continue her recovery from abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace said. There were no public images of her departure.

On February 27, it was learned that Prince William, Catherine’s husband, would not attend his godfather’s funeral due to a personal situation. This further fueled conspiracy theories about the princess’s absence.

Over the next few days, the Palace faced increasing pressure to share more information about the future queen. Finally, he made the rare decision to counter the rumors, saying he had “clarified the timeline for the princess’s recovery in January” and would only provide meaningful updates. “That guidance remains in effect,” they said.

On March 10, Kensington Palace released the first official photograph of Catherine since she underwent abdominal surgery in January.

The Princess of Wales appears sitting outdoors, surrounded by her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The photo was attributed to William, Prince of Wales. The image was broadcast on Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom.

On March 11, several major news agencies reported that they removed an image distributed by Kensington Palace showing the Princess of Wales and her children, saying they believed the photo had been manipulated.

On March 18th, a new video shows the Princess of Wales shopping with Prince William over the weekend.

However, the video does not seem to have calmed down the numerous conspiracy theories surrounding the princess. There are dozens of amateur detectives who dedicate themselves to creating timelines to find answers to various unproven theories about what happens to the princess. They analyze previous images and call them false and speculate with explanations from the simplest to the most fanciful.

Far from calming the rumors, another recent event continues to fuel suspicions. This March 19, it was learned that a new official photograph involving the Princess of Wales was digitally manipulated, according to Getty Images. The agency said the photograph of Queen Elizabeth with her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren, taken by Catherine and released by Kensington Palace last year, has been “digitally enhanced,” and a CNN analysis found signs of alteration in 19 places.
