Princess Kate Middleton missed the St. Patrick's Day parade, a first in seven years, due to recovery from abdominal surgery.

Reports indicate that she may resume royal duties by Easter Sunday, possibly attending the traditional Easter walk with the Royal Family.

Kate is expected to speak about her health issues publicly after her return, which is anticipated to be after April 17.

She is known for her open communication and may address her recent absence during upcoming public engagements.

Kate has been spotted leaving Windsor with Prince William for a private appointment, signaling a step towards her return to public life.
