"Concern Grows as Kate Middleton's Senior Staffers Unaware of Surgery and Lack Communication"

Kate Middleton's senior staffers reportedly haven't seen or spoken to her since her abdominal surgery, causing concern and speculation about her health and whereabouts. The palace has been tight-lipped about her post-op recovery, with only a few people aware of the details. Middleton has kept her surgery private and is trying to ignore the rumors and gossip, while Prince William has been attending royal engagements amidst the scrutiny. Additionally, all photos issued by Kensington Palace are under review, and the palace is no longer considered a "trusted source" of information.
