Prince William's wife, 42, continues to recover from the planned abdominal surgery she underwent successfully a few weeks ago
Kate Middleton has left her family residence in Windsor for the first time since her operation, after joining Prince William and her three children on a trip together to the Sandringham grounds where the British Royal Family owns one of the properties. most emblematic of her. After arriving there this Friday morning, the five are expected to spend a week-long mini-vacation in the place where Kings Charles and Camilla are also currently staying.
At 42 years old, the monarch's daughter-in-law is still immersed in her recovery process after the planned abdominal surgery to which she successfully underwent on January 16 at the London Clinic. To achieve this, there seems to be no better plan than to travel for a few days to a place like this surrounded by nature and perfect for disconnection, where the Princess can now rest and relax in the best company with her husband and children: George (10), Charlotte (7) and Louis (5).
This movement of the Princes of Wales with their children is seen in the United Kingdom as an unequivocal symptom of the improvement of Kate, who was already officially said to be making "good progress" in her health when she was discharged from hospital. In any case, we will still have to wait to see her again participating in any institutional event of the Crown, since her reappearance is not initially expected until after Easter.
The royal born in Reading (Berkshire) "was looking forward to a change of scenery and taking things more slowly, while the little ones can play there with William," they tell the Daily Mail from their entourage. Carlos III, for his part, has moved also to said royal estate in the county of Norfolk after announcing last Monday that he suffers from cancer. Here, in this retreat for four generations of monarchs, the King finds privacy, tranquility and plenty of countryside.
Sandringham Estate, located in the east of England, is a huge Jacobean-style mansion built by Edward VII and Queen Alexandra that houses authentic treasures from the Victorian era. It also features gardens designed by Geoffrey Delecoe, a children's play area and the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. Much of this 8,000-hectare complex, with the exception of the private house, is open to the public.
It has belonged to the Windsors since 1862 and, along with the Scottish castle of Balmoral, is not part of the State property. In addition, it was the favorite residence of the longed-for Elizabeth II and the family meeting point every Christmas. It has even been the scene of important celebrations such as the baptism of Charlotte of Wales, but also of great schisms such as the summit in which they agreed on the terms of the resignation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from their royal obligations.
