Conspiracy theorists can relax, Kate Middleton is at home with her children following her abdominal surgery — and there's photographic evidence to prove it. 

On Sunday, the Princess of Wales broke her silence since undergoing her planned surgery in January with a new statement and a new photo with her three children — George, Charlotte, and Louis — in honor of Mother's Day in the U.K. In her first official post-surgery snapshot, which was taken by Prince William earlier this week, Middleton can be seen sitting in a chair smiling with her arms around her kids.  

"Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months," Middleton wrote, before signing off her personal message to fans with, "Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C."

The unexpected update from the princess comes just a couple of weeks after the internet first began to speculate that Middleton was actually missing — not recovering — due to her extended absence from royal duty. The wild theories were later debunked by a rep for Middleton, who reminded the public that she wouldn't be making any appearances until after Easter.

“Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates,” Middleton's rep previously told Page Six. “That guidance stands.” The spokesperson went on to add that the princess is "doing well."
