Prince William ignores question about Kate Middleton’s recovery

He kept calm and marched on — instead of acknowledging his wife’s mysterious absence. 

Prince William dodged a question during a recent public outing about Kate Middleton’s long recovery from surgery.

According to a video obtained by the Daily Mail, when William was at the soccer stadium in Wrexham, Wales, on Friday, a person in the crowd asked the Prince of Wales, 41, “How’s Catherine?” William ignored the question and kept walking.

But he did respond when another fan asked him for a selfie. 

“Can I say hello to the team? I’ll come back,” William offered.  

Middleton, 42, got abdominal surgery in January. She’s reportedly on the mend, and she’s been recovering behind closed doors since being discharged from the hospital on Jan. 29.

Since then, William has attended many events without his wife, including the BAFTAs, and he also hung out with “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star and Wrexham AFC co-owner Rob McElhenney. 

Kensington Palace said when it announced Middleton’s surgery that she would not be participating in any royal engagements after her planned, unspecified medical procedure.   

“The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days before returning home to continue her recovery,” read a statement. “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.”

However, that early statement from the palace hasn’t stopped outlandish conspiracy theories about Middleton’s whereabouts from taking over the internet.

A Spanish news outlet reported Middleton was in “great danger” after being put in a “coma” following her abdominal surgery. Sources told The Post that the report is “wholly inaccurate.”

Amid the conspiracy theories, in response, Kensington Palace made it clear they would “only be providing significant updates,” her rep told The Post. “That guidance stands.”

The rep added that the mom of three is “doing well.”

Meanwhile, King Charles, 75, has taken a step back from his royal duties since he broke the news of his cancer diagnosis on Feb. 5. Queen Camilla, 76, has filled in for him and performed some of his duties.

She was seen attending a memorial service for Greek King Constantine II on Feb. 27, and at a reception for the finalists of the BBC’s 500 Words competition at Buckingham Palace on Feb. 28.

The queen then met with Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska at Clarence House the next day, according to the Times UK.

William and Princess Anne are now reportedly stepping in as an “exhausted” Camilla jets off to vacation. (She took on 13 more official engagements solo since her husband’s health scare went public.)

Middleton, for her part, was finally spotted out and about for the first time since December on Monday. 

In pictures obtained by The Post, the Princess of Wales could be seen sitting in the passenger seat of an Audi being driven by her mom, Carole, near Windsor Castle. 

Her face was obscured by a pair of large sunglasses.
