Kate Middleton kept her senior staffers and a majority of her close friends in the dark about her abdominal surgery — and has decided to continue to keep up a wall following her return home from the hospital, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Sources close to the situation revealed Middleton's staff were "caught off guard" by the news the Princess had been hospitalized in January.

The pranksters alleged they edited the photo that was posted from the Kensington Palace X account.

The secrecy has continued since she returned home a few weeks later. An insider told Us Weekly, “A few of Kate’s senior staffers haven’t been able to see or speak to her, and they didn’t even know about the surgery until it was announced, so it’s caught them off guard."

The source added, "Kate has just recently started to open up to members of her inner circle about the nature of her operation and recovery process. Only a few people know what’s really going on, and they're tight-lipped."
