Despite Catherine, Princess of Wales (better known as Kate Middleton) being away from the public until after Easter, she’s under the spotlight more than ever. Not only are the conspiracy theories following her with every step she takes, but she’s also had to pause all royal duties until after Easter because of her abdominal surgery. As you can imagine, it’s probably been a hard time for Kate, and both royal experts and insiders claim she’s “struggling” a lot right now with her confidence

Royal expert Jennie Bond said via OK, “Clearly, whatever’s happened to Catherine, she’s probably feeling fragile — mentally as well. To have a serious setback like this at the prime of your life, it must knock your confidence, and so she’ll be fragile at this stage in her recovery and to have this thrown at her.”

Bond talked about the tension between Kate and PRince Harry and Meghan Markle, her uncle going into the reality TV world, and all the intrusive conspiracy theories.

But the biggest thing contributing to her reported feelings right now is the health scare she was put through. It, of course, will shake up anyone, and a royal insider told the same outlet that Kate is “naturally battling depression, which is common for anyone after a major procedure.”

“To be stricken with such a serious health scare at such a young age is serious stuff mentally. Add to the fact that she was always so fit and healthy-looking — it’s all just a bit too much, especially for her as a mother of three young children and as our Princess of Wales,” they added.

But it seems that Kate has a great support system, and that everyone has been pitching in to help. Health crises are always hard to deal with mentally, so we hope she’s taking it slow and resting as much as she can before she returns to the public eye.

It’s still unclear what type of surgery it was for, but many have gathered it was for health reasons. The severity is still unknown, but many are hoping she’s relaxing as much as possible.
