Kate Middleton left Windsor Castle for the first time since undergoing abdominal surgery in January.

According to peopleThe Princess of Wales will spend time with her family at her and Prince William's home in the Sandringham estate, known as Anmer Hall, in Norfolk.

They will be joined by their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, during a break from school, according to the outlet.

Daily Mail Also mentioned Middleton, 42, has left Windsor and is “recovering well.”

“She was looking forward to a change of scenery and will be able to take things easy in Norfolk while the kids take off with William,” the outlet's source added.

Kensington Palace announced on January 17 that Middleton had undergone “successful” abdominal surgery and would remain in hospital for between 10 and 14 days.

Although it was a planned surgery, Middleton and Prince William, 41, kept their closest family members and advisors in the dark about the matter in an attempt to keep it a secret.

In an update on January 29, Kensington Palace announced that she had been discharged from hospital and was “making good progress.”

She left the London clinic at the same time as her father-in-law, King Charles III, who had been admitted to the same hospital for treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

During the surgery, it was discovered that the 75-year-old prince had cancer, which Buckingham Palace announced on Monday.

The announcement noted that he “remains absolutely positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public service as soon as possible,” while maintaining a positive nature about the diagnosis.

It is not yet clear what type of cancer was discovered.

This discovery will postpone King Charles' obligations to the public, but it is not known for how long.

The Princess of Wales is not expected to return to her usual royal duties until after Easter, but a royal insider claimed to Daily Express UK on February 1 that she has already begun working “from her bed” at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate.
