Kensington Palace confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday that Middleton had been working from home during her recovery. She was kept up to date regarding the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood's trial of an observation tool for child development.
The Princess of Wales has remained out of the public eye since Dec. 25. Buckingham Palace later revealed Middleton had been admitted to a hospital for a planned abdominal surgery on Jan. 17. Since then, she has only been spotted a handful of times, sparking speculation about her whereabouts.
Middleton was most recently spotted walking through the Windsor Farm Shop nearly three months after her last official royal outing.

On Mother's Day in the U.K., Middleton shared a photo featuring her three children with Prince William – Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte. The picture quickly became news as it was likely intended to quell speculation about the princess. However, Middleton's photo only fueled speculation about her health and whereabouts when it came to light that the image had been altered.
Middleton later apologized on Instagram, writing: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused."
"We don't have anything to add," the palace told Fox News Digital when asked for comments about the digitally altered photo.
