The Palace Responds Again After Rumors Swirl Amid Concern Over the Princess of Wales

Prince William’s decision to bow out of a planned appearance this week, citing an undisclosed personal matter, fueled feverish speculation about his wife’s health online.

The continued speculation over the health of Catherine, Princess of Wales — which was flamed on social media this week after Prince William canceled a planned appearance at the memorial service for his godfather, King Constantine of the Hellenes — caused Kensington Palace, once again, to break its silence on the matter.
In a statement, a spokesperson told ABC News on Thursday, “Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the Princess’s recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates. That guidance stands.”

The spokesperson reiterated the princess is “doing well.”

On Christmas Day, Catherine attended service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, England, wearing head-to-toe royal blue. She walked to church with her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, much like she had in years past.
