Kate Middleton seen leaving Adelaide Cottage for the first time, how is she doing since surgery?

In January, it was announced that Princess Kate had undergone a scheduled abdominal surgery and that it was successful. The Prince of Wales then spent 13 days as an in-patient at The London Clinic, the same hospital where King Charles was treated for an enlarged prostate.

Princess Kate is now continuing her recovery at home in Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate, with her husband, Prince William and their children and with the help of their live-in nanny, Maria Borrallo.

As it is now half-term in the UK, it is understood that Princess Kate has left Adelaide Cottage to spend time with her children in their holiday home.

Prince William, who had stepped back from Royal duties for a short period to look after his wife, recently attended two events, where he thanked the public for their messages of support for Princess Kate and that it ‘means a great deal to us all.’

Prince William and Princess Kate left for Amner Hall on Friday after their children broke up for half-term. A source told Daily Mail that the Princess of Wales was ‘looking forward to a change of scene’ and wanted the ‘children let off steam with William’.

According to Kensington Palace, the Princess of Wales is doing well but has asked for privacy and a sense of normality for the children. Therefore The Palace will only release updates if it is absolutely necessary.
