Princess Catherine of Wales\u2019 uncle is sounding off on her recovery from abdominal surgery earlier this year, amid rampant speculation about her condition both in and outside the palace.\"\"<\/p>\n

Gary Goldsmith, the younger brother of Kate\u2019s mother, Carole Middleton, hesitated to answer after the princess\u2019 whereabouts when asked by fellow \u201cCelebrity Big Brother U.K.\u201d contestant Ekin-Su Culculoglu on this week\u2019s season 23 premiere.<\/p>\n

He noted \u201cthe family has put the wagons down\u201d and is looking \u201cafter family first, before anything else.\u201d Goldsmith then pointed to Kensington Palace\u2019s limited statements about the matter and their repeated message that, \u201cShe just takes some time to recoup and we\u2019ll see you [at] Easter.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

Goldsmith\u2019s remarks come amid conspiracy theories related to Kate Middleton\u2019s whereabouts, with even those at the palace \u201cunsettled by uncertainty,\u201d as royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People in this week\u2019s cover story.<\/p>\n

Kensington announced on Jan. 17 that the 42-year-old Princess of Wales had undergone a \u201csuccessful\u201d \u2014 and previously scheduled \u2014 abdominal surgery the day prior. As a result, they noted she would likely be out of commission until after Easter.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A palace insider also told People that the \u201cradio silence\u201d surrounding her condition isn\u2019t just for the public \u2014 which has occasionally been assured that Kate is \u201cdoing well.\u201d The vagueness is just as present at the palace.<\/p>\n

Speculation and conspiracy theories \u2014 including that the royal is in a coma due to complications from the procedure \u2014 reached an all-time high last week when the Prince of Wales suddenly pulled out of a memorial service for his godfather, King Constantine of Greece, who died last year. Prince William, 41, cited personal reasons for his absence, which only intensified the rumor mill.<\/p>\n

Kensington again insisted the princess was \u201cdoing well,\u201d but shortly thereafter made a rare statement slamming the theories.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very clear from the outset that the Princess of Wales was out until after Easter and Kensington Palace would only be providing updates when something was significant,\u201d the palace said last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Within days, Kate was photographed riding shotgun in an Audi driven by her mother. It was the first time she\u2019d been spotted in public since Christmas.<\/p>\n

The princess\u2019 off-the-grid approach is in stark contrast to King Charles\u2019 slightly more public-facing one.<\/p>\n

The monarch, 75, was hospitalized for an enlarged prostate at at the same time as Kate\u2019s surgery. It wasn\u2019t long before he announced a cancer diagnosis. Though he has largely flown under the radar, Charles has been seen in public multiple times. However, he too was absent from Constantine\u2019s memorial.<\/p>\n

The royal family last week also suffered the loss of Thomas Kingston, the 45-year-old financier husband of Charles\u2019 second cousin Lady Gabriella Kingston. Kingston, who reportedly also once dated Kate\u2019s sister Pippa, died of a \u201ctraumatic head wound.\u201d He was found with a firearm near his body, according to local officials.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSo, because she doesn\u2019t want to talk about it \u2026\u201d started Goldsmith, 58, according to a video shared Wednesday to the TikTok account, Big Bro Memes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t talk about it,\u201d Culculoglu concluded.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe last thing I\u2019m going to do is \u2014 there\u2019s a kind of code of etiquette. If it\u2019s announced, I\u2019ll give you an opinion,\u201d continued Goldsmith, as Culculoglu expressed her well wishes. \u201cI think the most important thing \u2026 she\u2019s getting the best care in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
