While this was going on, Kate said she was sorry for delaying planned events.

“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.”

A lot of royal fans were worried about Kate and wished her a speedy recovery on social media

“Prayers for a speedy recovery”

“Feel better soon, Catherine. Even while she’s not well, she’s worried about everything going on around her. You take care of you and I’m sure people understand the need to respect your privacy for your children. They would want the same for their own,” one wrote.

Another added: “Prayers for a successful recovery for the Princess of Wales and for her lovely family as they navigate this difficult time.”

A third said: “My thoughts and prayers are with her and her whole family.”

“14 days is a long stay, hope she’s ok,” another stated.

People Magazine sources say that Kate’s planned surgery on her abdomen was “non-cancerous.”

According to the news source, the Princess of Wales will likely recover at her family home in Windsor after being released from the hospital. She and Prince William moved there from Adelaide Cottage in London in 2022.

While Kate is getting better, Prince William is also likely to do fewer public appearances. This will help them better take care of their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

William will not be taking care of business while Kate is at the hospital.

William will be more responsible for taking care of George, Charlotte, and Louis, but he won’t do it all by himself.
