Princess Kate sends a sign of life: first photo after the operation. Kate had been in hiding for weeks, and the British's concerns grew day by day.

Now the wife of the heir to the British throne has turned to the public – with a new photo. The 42-year-old can be seen with her three children, Princess Charlotte, 8, Prince Louis, 5, and Prince George, 10, in the photo. It is unclear when Princess Kate will resume official duties.
