Kate Middleton went to the hospital for an abdominal surgery on Tuesday, January 16. Kensington Palace revealed that the surgery had been planned ahead of time, and it was “successful.” Still, the palace reported that Kate would have to stay at the hospital for 10 to 14 days as she recovers. In the statement, the Princess of Wales also apologized as she’d be postponing many of her public engagements for the time being.
Kensington Palace announced that she’d be taking time away from her public duties until the end of March. “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” they said. The palace also shared a request for privacy as she recovers and will only share updates periodically.
