The Palace has been urged to release an image of Princess Kate in the garden with her children by royal commentator Hugo Vickers.
Speculation has been rife in recent weeks about the Princess’s whereabouts since her abdominal surgery with public appearances scarce.
She was photographed on Monday by unauthorised paparazzi before the image was published on US celebrity news website TMZ.
To quell any concerns the public may have about Kate’s wellbeing, Vickers outlined a possible “good idea” for the Palace to consider on GB News.

“If I was her press secretary, I would be wanting to tell you something”, he said.
“Maybe some really good news when she’s getting better. I don’t know whether it would have been a good idea to have a picture of her sitting in the garden with her children or something.

Princess Kate had planned abdominal surgery Getty“It’s a terrible complicated balance. If you feed the media enough, usually they will respect the boundaries.

She is seen in dark sunglasses while sat in the passenger seat of a black Audi being driven by her mother, Carole Middleton.
There is little sign of Kate exiting the spotlight anytime soon with her uncle, Gary Goldsmith, entering the Celebrity Big Brother house on Monday night.
The 58-year-old businessman recalled his first meeting with William, saying the future King offered him a cup of tea.
Kate is not expected to return to official royal duties until after Easter as she continues her recovery.
