Spanish journalist Concha Calleja claims Kate Middleton was put in a coma after her abdominal surgery. The 59-year-old author, who appeared on Spanish television's "Fiesta" as a royal expert, argued the princess had been "in great danger" after her operation.

A Palace source firmly denied the Spaniard's version, saying it was "totally absurd" and "incomprehensibly and totally invented" The princess's recovery would "require a lot of assistance," the Spanish journalist added.
