Among the pictures Kate shared, one depicted her meeting with Sarah Goldson, a coach for boys and girls at Wimbledon. Another image showed her with Bianca Sackal, the co-founder of Seb's Corner Children's Bank, which she visited in November. Additionally, there was a photo of Kate with Dr. Gopi AA, the CEO of Evelina London Children's Hospital. Furthermore, there was a picture of Kate and William engaging in a conversation with Professor Uzo Iwobi, the founder of Race Council Cymru, whom they met during a trip to Cardiff in October. William was also photographed alongside some of the honored women, including Serena Wiegman, the manager of the English Lionesses, and Renee Salt, a Holocaust survivor.
In a message accompanying the post, the caption read, "Happy International Women's Day, celebrating the influence of amazing women today and every day. Here are a few of the incredible women who have inspired us over the past 12 months."
Kate spent nearly two weeks at the London clinic in Maral after undergoing planned abdominal surgery on January 16th. She was discharged from the hospital on January 29th. Since Christmas Day, when she was seen walking to and from church at Sandringham with other members of the royal family, Kate has not participated in any official royal engagements. However, on Monday, she was spotted for the first time since her procedure, driving her car near her home in Windsor with her mother, Carol Middleton.
Despite previous statements that no updates would be provided on her health, Kensington Palace confirmed last week that Kate's recovery was progressing well. This announcement came after Prince William withdrew from a memorial service at Windsor Castle for personal reasons. The palace addressed speculations circulating online about the authenticity of the updates, emphasizing their commitment to privacy and requesting respect for the princess's right to privacy. The statement clarified that they would not change their strategy in response to the social media frenzy surrounding Kate's health.
When news broke that Kate had been admitted to the London clinic in Marabon, central London, Kensington Palace refrained from disclosing further details about her treatment. However, they did confirm that her condition was non-cancerous.
