It should come as no surprise that the news of Kate’s operation sparked an outpouring of opinions and views given her status and popularity. Although the official statement from the Royal Family said that the treatment was scheduled and that Kate was doing well, many were concerned that the future queen’s condition might be worse than the Palace was letting on.

“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 statement from Kensington Palace on its social media pages.

“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.”

The statement continued: “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.”

The Princess of Wales is anticipated to recuperate at her family’s Windsor residence after being released from the hospital. She and Prince William moved there from Adelaide Cottage in London in 2022.

It’s anticipated that Prince William would reduce his public appearances while Kate heals. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the couple’s three children, will benefit from this more effectively.

People Magazine quickly cited reports stating that Kate’s upcoming stomach surgery was necessary for “non-cancerous” reasons. Although that may be the truth, there are currently rumors from other sources suggesting that things haven’t been easy.

Concha Calleja, a Spanish journalist and purported royal specialist, has stated that she spoke with a palace insider who informed her that Kate had a problem following her surgery.

“I have spoken to an aide at the Royal Household and they assure me that something has gone wrong in the postoperative period,” Calleja allegedly said, according to Spanish publication Marca. “The situation is so serious that that is why they have decided to send these two statements,” she continued.
