Moreover, Five days ago on Mar. 5, 2024, Kate allegedly appeared in photos that were leaked across social media platforms, but people struggled to identify if it was the actual Princess of Wales or not.
The rumors in question began on Jan. 16, 2024, after Kate went missing in December resulting in local and international concern over the whereabouts of the princess amid her abdominal surgery. Despite the photos surfacing, many users took to X (formerly known as Twitter) in suspicion of whether that was Kate or not, as her face was quite swollen and didn't look like previous photos before she went "Missing".
