Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that Kate Middleton has been missing for months when she was actually hospitalized and then released from the hospital on January 29th. The article also quotes unauthorized paparazzi pictures of her outing with her mother which were not authorized by the palace, making it seem like she is hiding something or avoiding public scrutiny.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it states that the Princess of Wales has been spotted after her hospitalization and that she was expected to return home after Easter based on current medical advice. This statement implies that there is some sort of expert or official who made this determination, but no such source is provided in the article. The second fallacy is a false dilemma when it states that Kate Middleton's absence from public life has sparked rampant conspiracy theories and viral suppositions about her alleged disappearance. This statement implies that there are only two options: either she was absent due to illness or she was hiding something, but this ignores other possible explanations such as a personal choice or family obligations. The third fallacy is inflammatory rhetoric when it states that the topic of Kate Middleton's health has been a talking point ever since and implies that there are only negative things to say about her condition.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Kate Middleton has been seen for the first time since her hospitalization when she was actually last seen in December. Secondly, the author claims that this sighting is a big deal considering we haven't seen her whatsoever since December but fails to mention that there have been multiple reports of her being spotted out and about before now. Thirdly, the article implies that Kate Middleton has been dealing with an undisclosed condition when all we know is that she underwent abdominal surgery. The author also uses sensationalism by stating 'there's a lot of jokes made at her expense', which is not relevant to the topic at hand.

The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe concerns regarding Princess Kate's welfare as a wave of conspiracy theories and speculation prompted by Prince William pulling out of a scheduled appearance at the last minute. Additionally, there is an example of dichotomous depiction in the sentence 'The Middletons live a short car ride away from the Prince and Princess of Wales home base in Windsor, residing in Bucklebury, Berkshire.'
