Duchess Kate's health battle: Palace posts new archival photo

Duchess Kate has withdrawn from public life. In light of this, Kensington Palace decided to remind the public of her activities by posting an archival photo of the 42-year-old on social media after a long break.

News about Duchess Kate's health has captivated media outlets worldwide for several months. Earlier this year, the 42-year-old underwent abdominal surgery. A few weeks later, Kate Middleton addressed the numerous speculations by sharing an emotional video on social media, revealing that she is battling cancer.

Since then, the Duchess has avoided public appearances and has not performed most of her previous duties. Recently, the media reported that Prince William's beloved is feeling better; however, her return to royal duties remains uncertain. According to an informant from a foreign tabloid, the daughter-in-law of the King may never again engage in her previous role as intensely as before.

Duchess Kate has been quietly focusing on her health at home for several months. New photos of the 42-year-old are scarce in the media. To address this, Kensington Palace delved into its archives and published a new photo on the Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram profile. The couple, aiming to highlight their environmental efforts, drew attention to seaweed.

Seaweed is one of the most abundant resources on the planet, and it is a potential solution to some of the biggest environmental problems felt across the World.
