Princess Kate Middleton has been absent from the royal spotlight for more than half a year. Her last major public appearance took place on December 25, 2023, at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham for Christmas Day. Since then, she stepped down from her royal commitments, eventually revealing she was diagnosed with cancer and would undergo preventive chemotherapy.
While the Princess of Wales has been one to value privacy during this difficult time, some royal followers and users think otherwise. Recently, a creepy Internet theory has explained the reason behind Kate Middleton’s absence: she could’ve died 6 months ago. This rumor ignited after a royal source told Us Weekly that she “may never come back in the role that people saw her in before.”
I think we may need to revisit the possibility that she's been dead for 6 months. https://t.co/ARkSd7QOTs

Amid Buckingham Palace’s silence on Kate Middleton and other royal family members like Prince William avoiding speaking too much about her, it’s no surprise that regal fans decided to craft their own theories. While some express that she might have died months ago, others try to come up with more rational explanations. She could’ve lost her hair due to chemotherapy and won’t return to the public spotlight for that reason.
As time keeps ticking and the royal agenda gets busier, the public seems to be craving an official statement regarding Kate Middleton’s health status. The Royal Family and Buckingham Palace continue to be mostly quiet, giving fans and “royal sources” the creative power to make all sorts of crazy conspiracies.
