In a bombshell development in the long running medical mystery surrounding her health, the Princess of Wales, formerly known as Kate Middleton, was seen in photographs for the first time since Christmas. 

The photos, published by TMZ and viewable only in the U.S., show the princess on what the British tabloids are calling a “school run,” sitting in the passenger seat of a late-model black Audi Q7, being driven by her mother, Carole Middleton. There did not appear to be royal protection officers present.
