Kate looks 'healthy & happy to be out' in 'jaw-dropping' video, reveals body language expert
Footage emerged just hours after The Sun exclusively revealed Kate had spent Saturday shopping and Sunday morning watching her children play sport.
The Sun last week called on the world to "Lay Off Kate" after she was criticised for editing her Mother's Day family photo - before vile fake tales started spreading.
Picture agencies withdrew, or “killed”, the image when discrepancies were discovered.
Experts have said the weekend’s sighting is a “great sign” and shows the country how well she is doing in her three-month recovery process.
A body language expert added that Kate looked "healthy, energetic and happy to be out".
Kensington Palace maintains Kate is “doing well” and will offer only significant updates as she recovers.
She spent 13 nights in hospital after requiring major surgery to her abdomen on January 17 at The London Clinic.
Kensington Palace's original statement on Kate Middleton's surgery
KENSINGTON Palace released a statement in January after Kate had undergone surgery.
Sources made it clear Kate would be out of action until at least Easter.
The palace said: "The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate.
"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.
"Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.
"The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements.
"She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”
