On Wednesday, Kensington Palace announced that the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, underwent a planned abdominal surgery at a London hospital.
The surgery, deemed successful, required her hospitalization for a period of ten to fourteen days. The statement emphasized Catherine's desire for privacy and her wish to maintain normalcy for her children.
The note acknowledged the public's interest in the princess's well-being and conveyed her hope for understanding regarding the need to keep personal medical details private. Based on medical advice, the Duchess is unlikely to resume public duties until Easter.
The palace assured that updates on Catherine's condition would be shared only when there is significant information to provide. Additionally, the Royal Family expressed the Duchess's apologies to those affected by the postponement of her upcoming engagements.
Catherine, at 42, aims to recover promptly, and upon discharge from The London Clinic, she is expected to continue her recovery at her home in Windsor. The BBC reported that the hospitalization was not related to any cancerous condition, and among the affected commitments is a planned trip to Italy.
The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William, the heir to the British throne, are renowned and beloved members of the royal family. The couple, parents to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, enjoys widespread popularity among citizens.
