The first official photo of the Princess of Wales since undergoing abdominal surgery in January has been released.

The image with Kate and her children, taken by Prince William himself, was released on Mother’s Day as a thank you for the public’s continued support after his wife’s health problems, according to SkyNews, according to News.ro.

Kate, the wife of Britain’s crown prince, has not been seen in public since she joined the rest of the royal family for a Christmas walk.

Now the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a photo of Kate and her three children on Instagram.

The 42-year-old future queen was admitted to the London Clinic for elective surgery on January 16. The princess returned home from a private hospital 13 days later, and Kensington Palace said at the time that the princess was “progressing well” but needed a long recovery.

Kate is not expected to return to official royal duties until after the Catholic Easter.

Speculation about her health has been rife online since Prince William pulled out of his godfather’s memorial service at Windsor Castle last month due to “personal issues”.

Kensington Palace has not disclosed the nature of the health problem for which Kate was operated on, but it is known that it is not cancer.
