Princess Kate has been seen in public for the first time since Christmas. The wife of the heir to the British throne, Prince William, was sitting as a passenger with her mother Carole Middleton in a car that was seen near Kate's home in Windsor.

The British news agency PA reported that the pictures were taken by unauthorized paparazzi.

She would not attend any appointments until after Easter, it said without further details. She is currently recovering at home at Windsor Castle. Despite the announcement and the urgent request to protect the mother of three's privacy, there had recently been increasing rumors and conspiracy theories about Kate's condition and whereabouts.
Last week, an official spokesman commented on the “madness on social media”, but said the information strategy would continue to be adhered to: “We were very clear from the start that the Princess of Wales would be out of action until after Easter, and Kensington Palace will only inform if there is something important to report.” However, Princess Kate is “continuing to recover well,” as Kensington Palace announced.
