The first official image of Princess Kate after her abdominal surgery hints she’s “comfortable”, according to royal commentator Jennie Bond.
The photo of Kate and her children, taken by the Prince of Wales in Windsor earlier this week, was posted online to mark Mother’s Day.
She thanked the public for their “kind wishes and continued support over the last two months”.
In the photo caption, she continued: “Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C.”
Jennie Bond says the new image is cause for optimism

Jennie Bond joined Dawn Neesom on GB News to point out one feature of Kate’s appearance that she believes is cause for optimism.
“We’re seeing her in a traditional posting, each year they post on Mother’s Day”, she said.

“My first reaction was, goodness me, she looks fine and it’s a full length picture, otherwise we’d probably have other conspiracy theories.
“She looks fine. She’s got all her limbs. She’s wearing quite a tight pair of jeans, which after abdominal surgery suggests that she’s feeling a bit more comfortable.
“She looks happy, the kids look relaxed, so it’s a relief to see that picture.”
Dawn went on to question Bond on why she thinks Kate isn’t wearing her wedding rings in the image.
“Here we go again”, she joked in response.
“I didn’t look that closely, but I have no idea why. Perhaps she just done the washing up and left it on the side of the sink.”
The photo of the princess is the first released since she was admitted to the London Clinic – the private hospital where the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate – for a planned operation on January 16.
Charles, 75, visited his daughter-in-law’s bedside after being admitted himself on January 26 – the 11th day of Kate’s stay.
She was also visited by her husband, William.
Kate left the hospital on January 29 – almost two weeks later – and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.
