Kate Middleton, the beloved Princess of Wales, underwent a planned abdominal surgery on Tuesday, January 16. The Kensington Palace has confirmed that the surgery was a success, but it also means that Kate will have to stay at the hospital for a period of 10 to 14 days to ensure a smooth recovery.
In light of this, the Princess of Wales, who just celebrated her 42nd birthday on January 9, has expressed her apologies for postponing many of her upcoming public engagements. Kensington Palace announced that Kate will be taking time away from her royal duties until the end of March, with a likelihood of returning after Easter.
“Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” the palace stated. “The Princess of Wales wishes to apologize to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”

The palace also emphasized the importance of privacy during Kate’s recovery and assured the public that updates will be shared periodically, only when there is significant new information to share.
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes 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 read.
While the specific details of the surgery have not been disclosed, it appears that Kate is expected to make a full recovery. This news comes just weeks after reports of tension between Kate and her husband Prince William with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
However, according to a source close to the royal couple, Kate is focused on the future and has moved on from the drama.
“She’s moved on and William has too,” the source revealed. “She’s very focused on what matters going forward. They aren’t looking back.”
Our thoughts are with Kate Middleton during her recovery, and we wish her a speedy return to good health. The public will eagerly await updates on her progress, but for now, let’s respect her privacy and support her as she takes the time she needs to heal.
