Kate was spotted in the passenger seat of a car near Windsor Castle, driven by her mother Carole Middleton.

The princess covered her eyes with sunglasses and appeared to be smiling.

It looked as though Carole and Kate were the only two people in the car.

The surprise appearance comes as concern soared in the past week for her health when her husband Prince William abruptly pulled out of his late godfather’s memorial due to a “personal matter”.

A spokesperson then made a rare statement, reiterating the palace had made it clear in January the princess was not expected to be seen again in public until after Easter.

“Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates. That guidance stands,” the spokesperson told Daily Mail.

The palace confirmed on January 17 that Kate, 42, had undergone a successful “planned” abdominal surgery, and would be stepping back from royal duties until about Easter.

No details of the surgery were given, but a palace spokesman said the condition was “non-cancerous”.

“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate,” a statement said in January.

“She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.”

In a bizarre twist, hours later her father-in-law King Charles was also admitted — in his case openly stating that he was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate.

During their 13-day stay in hospital, Prince William was spotted visiting his wife once on Thursday, January 18.

Kate’s siblings Pippa and James Middleton and parents Carole and Michael Middleton were never publicly seen visiting the hospital in London.

Queen Camilla was spotted visiting her husband at least three times.

Kate and Charles were both discharged within hours of each other on January 29, however Kate was not seen leaving the hospital when she returned to her home in Windsor.

King Charles was seen, reportedly hours later, with Camilla smiling for cameras as he departed The London Clinic Hospital.

The last time Kate was seen before this new sighting was 71 days ago on December 25, 2023, when she attended a church service with William and their children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
