Kate Middleton, 42, has been discharged from the London hospital after undergoing abdominal surgery, according to a statement from Kensington Palace. The statement, shared on Instagram, revealed that the Princess of Wales is now continuing her recovery at home in Windsor and is making good progress. The palace expressed gratitude to the medical team at The London Clinic and acknowledged the well wishes received from around the world.
As per the statement released by Kensington Palace on January 17, Kate’s surgery was successful and she was expected to remain in the hospital for ten to fourteen days before returning home. The statement emphasized Kate’s request for privacy during this time and her desire to maintain normality for her children. It also apologized for the postponement of her upcoming engagements and expressed her eagerness to reinstate them as soon as possible.
Unlike her father-in-law, King Charles III, who made his enlarged prostate surgery public, Kate initially chose to keep her surgery private. However, the royal family decided to be more open about Charles’ health due to concerns that people might assume the worst. Queen Camilla confirmed on January 26 that Charles is doing well after undergoing a “corrective procedure.”
Kate’s hospitalization lasted nearly two weeks, starting from the planned surgery on January 16. It is expected that she will not resume her public duties until after Easter on March 31.
