All around the world, people are asking the question: Where’s Kate?

We’re talking, of course, about the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.

In January, a statement from the palace stated she had undergone abdominal surgery and would return to public engagements after two weeks. However, when two months went by without a public appearance from the Princess of Wales, a multitude of theories began circulating, from cosmetic surgery to a potential affair.

People around the world became suspicious when the palace put out a photo of Kate and her kids on U.K. Mother’s Day that had visibly altered in Photoshop. It was so egregious that many global media companies wouldn’t publish the photo.

Simon Husbands was born and raised in the U.K., moving to the U.S. in 1997. He keeps in touch with his roots by hosting True Brit! on KFAI radio. Husbands joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to weigh in on what’s going on with the Princess of Wales — and what the larger implications might be.
