Where is Prince William? Where is Kate Middleton? The current turmoil inside the royal family

Prince William has been busy with various events recently, such as an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, an air ambulance charity event, and the Baftas, which he attended on his own. With his wife missing from the public eye, his father battling cancer, and Harry - well, we all know that dynamic - the heir to the throne has also made headlines by being MIA this week. What is going on with the royal family?

Prince William was expected to attend a service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor in February to honor the late King Constantine of the Hellenes, his godfather. However, Town and Country Magazine tells us that, just before the service commenced, Kensington Palace informed reporters that William would not be present due to a ‘personal issue’.

The Prince personally contacted King Constantine’s family to convey the message. Queen Camilla and the disgraced Duke of York, accompanied by his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, attended the St George’s Chapel service, representing the British royal family.

Andrew led the group, which included his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Zara and Mike Tindall, and the King’s cousin Lady Sarah Chatto.

But where is William - and could this be something to further affect the upcoming Royal responsibilities? To make speculation worse, the heir to the throne currently has no official engagements scheduled in the royal diary, according to The Independent.

Probably one of the most popular thoughts, especially from British users on the social platform X, is that — could it be? — the prince had a hangover? A light-hearted and humorous option, but highly unlikely.

Of course, his wife, Catherine Princess of Wales, hasn't been seen in public since undergoing surgery at the London Clinic on January 16. Her most recent public appearance was on Christmas Day, when the royal family walked to church from Sandringham House. Could her health status have affected William’s public duties?

A Palace aide shared that Kate is "continuing to do well" amidst concerns over her health. It is true, Kensington Palace stated they would not provide regular updates on her recovery. They mentioned after her surgery that she was not expected to resume public duties until after Easter.

On leaving the hospital earlier in the year, the palace statement read, "She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.”

The internet has gone wild. With every conspiracy thought of posted by users on social network site, X, many can get ‘stuck down the rabbit hole’ of looking for Kate Middleton. The Princess of Wales is easily the most popular and trending topic on social networks, but what do the speculations say?

Easily the most popular theory is that Princess Catherine of Wales’ ‘disappearance’ has something to do with Glasgow’s new Willy Wonka Experience that is trending at the same time.

Some users have suggested that the Princess may be receiving other procedures and will return to the public eye after an aesthetic boost. Another user imagines she could be recovering from donating a kidney to King Charles. The internet has gone wild over the ‘disappearance’ of Kate Middleton, made worse by her husband pulling out of the memorial.

More seriously, a Spanish journalist has said she is in a coma. After Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery in January, journalist Concha Calleja incorrectly stated on the Spanish news program Fiesta that Princess Kate, 42, was in a coma from complications., The Times reported. However, a palace source categorically denied these claims, PEOPLE understands.

"It’s total nonsense," a palace source told The Times. "No attempt was made by that journalist to fact-check anything that she said with anyone in the household. It’s fundamentally, totally made-up, and I’ll use polite English here: it’s absolutely not the case.”

Of course, there are those social network users that think all of this speculation will look silly when she is revealed as a contestant on ‘The Masked Singer’. So how serious is the Princess of Wales’ disappearance from the public eye?

Clearly the internet is proving that the general public think it is extremely serious. All we really know is that she is now reportedly recovering at her family home, Adelaide Cottage but there hasn’t been much news emerging from the residence.

In general, the royal family is suffering. After undergoing a hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, William’s father, King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. The palace stated that he has started regular treatments and will be postponing his public engagements.

“For the most part, the royal duties continue to be handled with typical stiff-upper-lip resolve”, says Royal expert and Majesty magazine managing editor Joe Little to USA Today, “even if the reigning monarch is going through a health crisis that certainly weighs on all the royals”.

"On a personal level, Camilla and William are obviously concerned about the king's ill health and with that comes a degree of stress, but it's business as usual as far as everyone is concerned," he added.

Also reported by USA Today, Washington, D.C.-based psychotherapist Dr. Victor Kidd said, "We have to be mindful that just because they're the royal family, that doesn't make them aliens or that they're no longer human beings," 

Commonwealth Day on March 11 in the United Kingdom will be a key indicator of the British monarchy's well-being and public support. Will Prince William show up? Will King Charles? And, the biggest question is… Where is Kate?
