Netizens Question Report Kate Middleton Was Seen 'Out And About' Without Photos: 'No Proof Of Life'
Kate Middleton has been out of the public spotlight following her cancer announcement, but she's not totally out of sight, according to a report.
Rebecca English, Daily Mail's royal editor, who has covered the royal beat for the outlet since 2004, said in a recent report that the Palace received "tens of thousands" get well soon cards and gifts for the Princess of Wales following her brave admission that she was diagnosed with cancer. Although she hasn't been publicly visible following her health update, English suggested she was seen with her family in the past weeks.
"The Mail understands that the princess has been seen out and about more with her family in recent weeks, which will be taken as a positive sign by many," English wrote.

The report about Middleton being "seen out and about" received several responses from netizens because there were no photos to support the alleged sightings.
"Here we go again with lies and manufactured images. Every time the pressure mounts," one commented.
Another said, "More smoke and mirrors. If she were out and about, there would be photos. #KateMiddleton."
"Not to sound like someone with tinfoil hat, but you cannot post this without PROOF that Kate Middleton is out and about. 'Sources say' b***h when will you realize people make s**t up????????" another remarked.
"Where is 'out and about'? Are cameras banned in 'out and about'? #whereisKate #KateMiddleton," a different user wrote in response to English's report.
There’s no manufactured picture, they are old pictures in the article. There’s not one current picture in the article.

If you’re going to lie, at least be consistent and keep your story straight. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/UCkINFrbhz
"Hey US Weekly, do you have any current photos of Kate Middleton and Prince William? We are getting tired of seeing old photos and claims by the Palace that they have been out and about without any evidence. Do some investigative journalism for once," another wrote.
"So Kate Middleton is out and about but so ill that she isn't seen by anyone? No videos, no proof of life. Just [an] attempt at controlling the narrative. She is ill and surrounded by 'blood family' but also 'well and out and about.' Which is it? Catherine Princess of Wales," a different person said.
Meanwhile, despite the lack of photos, a Kensington Palace spokesperson stressed that Middleton "being out and about" should not be confused with her returning to her royal duties, the Mirror reported. The Princess of Wales is still undergoing "preventive chemotherapy" amid her cancer battle.
Middleton's 2024 diary is reportedly empty. Prince William's wife is not expected to make an appearance at next month's Trooping the Colour. An unnamed source also previously said that the future queen might not return to her royal duties for the rest of the year.
