The first photo of Kate, the Princess of Wales, since her abdominal surgery nearly two months ago was issued Sunday along with a statement thanking the public for its support. It follows weeks of wild speculation on social media about her whereabouts since she left a hospital Jan. 29 after a nearly two-week stay following planned surgery. The royal family has been under more scrutiny because both Kate and King Charles III can’t carry out their usual public duties because of health problems.
