Following her hospitalization, Katherine spent the next six weeks recuperating at her home in Windsor. She reportedly took a short break to Sandringham earlier this month with her children. During this time, updates on her health were scarce, with only occasional assurances from aides that she was doing well, aiming to quell speculation about Prince William's absence from a memorial service.
Despite these efforts, some fans of Meghan Markle continued to circulate conspiracy theories about Katherine's prolonged absence. Kensington Palace reiterated their stance on privacy and recovery, emphasizing that significant updates would be provided as necessary. The princess is not expected to resume her royal duties until after Easter, with aides ensuring she has the space and time needed to recover away from the public eye.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle's associate, Omid Scobie, took to social media to compare his own experiences to Katherine's situation, expressing frustration at the media's sudden concern for privacy. Scobie's comments sparked further controversy, with claims of tension between Katherine and Meghan following the release of Scobie's book. However, Kensington Palace denied any contact between Katherine and Meghan Markle, dismissing the rumors of reconciliation.
