Following a discreet and enigmatic surgical procedure, Kate Middleton has shifted her focus to remote work from the comfort of her bed, anticipating her return to public duties.
Despite assertions from the royal house that she won't resume official engagements until Easter, the Duchess of Cambridge is already in the planning stages for her next appearances.
Last Monday marked the release of both Kate Middleton and King Charles III from the hospital, where they underwent separate surgeries at the central London Clinic.
King Charles, having undergone a successful prostate operation, departed the private facility exuding cheerfulness. In contrast, Kate Middleton, who was admitted on January 16, has refrained from public appearances since her stay.
The Duchess underwent an abdominal surgery that proceeded according to plan, and she has been recuperating at Adelaide Cottage, the Windsor residence shared with Prince William. Amidst rumors and speculations surrounding the nature of her surgery, including unfounded claims of cancer, Buckingham Palace clarified that such conjectures were baseless. Speculation also touched upon the possibility of a hysterectomy, which was categorically denied.
Despite the secrecy surrounding the surgery, insiders close to Kate Middleton have offered reassuring updates on her health. Addressing concerns and dispelling rumors, these sources affirm Middleton's positive outlook on returning to public life. Working from her bed, she is said to be actively engaged in planning future commitments and official visits.
The confidential nature of the operation extended even to the royal family's trusted advisors, who were deliberately kept unaware to prevent any leaks to the media. Both Kate Middleton and Prince William, the latter taking on household responsibilities during his wife's recovery, are determined to shield their privacy.
The couple's three children, Princes George, Charlotte, and Louis, refrained from visiting the hospital to avoid disrupting Middleton's routines. Instead, they maintained connection through daily video calls, a gesture reflecting their desire to convey love and support during her recovery, as reported by Entertainment Tonight.
