American reality star Kim Kardashian has taken to Instagram to poke fun at Kate Middleton, who has barely been seen since her abdominal surgery in January.

Amid speculation over the Princess’ whereabouts, Kim posted a series of photos of herself – along with the caption ‘on my way to go find Kate’.

In the images, she is seen wearing tour t-shirt from the ‘Up in Smoke Tour’, originally called ‘The Boyz in the Hood’, a legendary tour in 2000 which included the best rap and hip hop artists of the time, such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Eminem.

The post comes a day after it was revealed that Prince Harry – Kate’s brother in law – was in Aspen, California skiing with Corey Gamble – the boyfriend of Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian’s mother.

A source said that Harry had been hitting the slopes with Gamble, as well as Bumble dating app billionaire Whitney Wolfe, 34, and her husband Michael Herd, whom she met on a previous skiing trip.  

This also comes hours after Kate’s friends claimed the Royal couple are ‘shaken and devastated’ at the recent speculation about their marriage on social media and that they may address the Princess of Wales health condition next month.

Speculation over Kate’s whereabouts intensified when this photo was spiked by press  agencies after it emerged it had been photoshopped

While another wrote: ‘It’s not like people from your fam haven’t gone into hiding (rightfully so) during pregnancy or other medical reasons…this caption isn’t it.’

One added her frustration: ‘Wasn’t it just international women’s Day?!! S***w all these hollywood hypocrites for making fun of a woman who has been forced to recuperate after major surgery.’

Princess Kate has not made an official public appearance since she underwent major abdominal surgery on January 16, leading to a growing tsunami of speculation over her unknown health condition.

Speculation only intensified when she publicly took the blame for the family photograph released by Kensington Palace on Mother’s Day, which was ‘killed’ by six of the world’s top picture agencies over concern that it had been ‘manipulated’.

As well as a number of imperfections in the photoshopped image, viewers also spotted that Kate appeared to not be wearing her wedding ring, which sparked multiple unfounded theories online about the state of her marriage.

Despite this tumultuous few weeks for the Royal Family, it is expected that they will still uphold the tradition of releasing a new photograph to mark their children’s birthdays, the next being Prince Louis on April 23.

They may use it as an opportunity to speak about her health, it has been reported.

‘They are at their most open when out interacting with members of the public and I can see a world in which the princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements,’ a source told the Sunday Times.

‘If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it.’

Amid the on-going furore around Kate and her health, reports out of America suggested Harry was spending time with a member of the Kardashian clan.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, is understood to have been in Aspen, Colorado, this week skiing with business executive Corey Gamble, 43.

Gamble is the long-term boyfriend of Kris Jenner, the 68-year-old mother of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian; she also has two daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, by second husband Bruce – now Caitlyn – Jenner.

However, there has been no sign of Meghan on the pistes: she has been launching her new cookery and lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

Questions have been raised about whether the prince dialled in to the Diana Legacy Awards ceremony while on the ski holiday, as his background bore a resemblance to a chalet

A source said: ‘Harry’s been skiing with Corey. They’ve been skiing during the day and going to one of the better-known speak-easies in the evening.’

Harry was not at home as he dialled into his virtual appearance at the Diana Legacy Awards on Thursday – controversially staged across London in another location from where his brother, Prince William, handed out the awards to its recipients.

The background of his call into the Hilton in Waterloo – across town from the Science Museum where William had presented physical gongs – showed a wooden lodge-like building with a stone fireplace over his shoulder.

The Duke is no stranger to skiing, having been pictured on the slopes of Verbier, Switzerland in 2011 and being taken out with brother William by his father, the then-Prince Charles, as a boy.
