In a recent statement released by Kensington Palace on behalf of Princess Kate Middleton, who has recently undergone “successful abdominal surgery,” the princess has appealed to the public to prioritize normalcy for her children during this period.
The statement, shared on Wednesday, emphasized the Princess of Wales’s desire for privacy regarding her personal medical information. “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,” read the statement.
Additionally, Kensington Palace outlined its approach to updates on the princess’s health, stating, “Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.”
Expressing regret for the necessity to postpone upcoming engagements, the statement conveyed Princess Kate’s eagerness to reinstate as many as possible at the earliest opportunity. The surgery, deemed successful, will result in an expected hospital stay of ten to fourteen days before the princess returns home to continue her recovery.
Providing insight into the timeline for her return to public duties, the statement added, “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.” The royal family remains grateful for the public’s understanding and support during this period, as articulated in the statement from Kensington Palace.
As Princess Kate Middleton focuses on her recovery, the well-wishes from admirers continue to pour in, reflecting the widespread concern and affection for the beloved member of the royal family. Further updates on her progress will be shared only when significant information becomes available.
