Foreign Ministry: British authorities are involved in spreading fake news about Kate Middleton's health. On January 17, it became known that Middleton had undergone abdominal surgery and all planned cases with her participation were temporarily postponed.

The Foreign Ministry also said that the situation illustrates the problem of a “lack of integrity” among the London authorities. It is noted that the British government and the royal house prefer not only to avoid direct answers, but also to participate in the fabrication and circulation of fakes regarding the princess’s health.
