Kate Middleton breaks months-long silence, poses for Mother’s Day family photo without wedding ring

Kate Middleton was seen in a casual look next to her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, in a portrait captured by Prince William in honor of Mother’s Day.

In the family photo the Princess of Wales, 42, is seen without her wedding ring or any other jewellry.

This is the first update from Kensington Palace since Kate’s surgery. She thanked her supporters for the well wishes as she recuperates.

“Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day,” she wrote to fans, signing off as ‘C’ for Catherine. 

C donned denim a fieldn jacket as she wrapped her arms around Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5, on either side with George, 10, hugging mom from behind.

The mom has taken a break from the royal spotlight as she convalesces from “planned abdominal surgery” on January 16.
