In the beginning of the month, Kate Middleton went to The London Clinic, for a planned procedure. She received an abdominal surgery, and the details of her condition is unknown at the moment.
Kensington Palace had an announcement.
“Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery. The surgery was successful and it is expected she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,”
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.”
“Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share. The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”
Husband of Middleton, Prince William is staying with his wife, who is in The London Clinic. To support his wife, Prince of Wales had postponed his royal duties and schedule to be with his wife, stay with her during her recovery.
The Sun reported that Prince William had visited his wife everyday since she went into the hospital. But their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis did not saw their mother yet.
“Kate loves FaceTiming the children when she is working away overseas so I’m sure they will be in regular contact while she’s in the hospital, and the kids will be keen to see her as soon as she’s well enough,” Emily Nash, the royal editor of Hello!
“She loves having her family around her so will be looking forward to getting home and having cuddles with the kids. Both William and Kate are very hands-on parents – they take the kids to school, attend sports matches and concerts and try to be home for bedtime as much as they can. While Kate is in hospital, William will be at home keeping things as normal as possible.”
