Princess of Wales Kate Middleton Is Reportedly 'Doing Well' After 'Successful' Surgery

Kate Middleton is reportedly in good health after successful abdominal surgery for a non-cancerous issue, with her husband, Prince William, supporting her. Despite her positive recovery, the princess postponed royal duties and foreign visits.

Before hospitalization, she had a busy schedule, particularly for her early years initiative. Although her foundation held a meeting, her plans included engagements and international travel. Kate's return to royal duties is anticipated in the second week of April.

Following successful abdominal surgery for a non-cancerous issue, Kate is reportedly in good health, according to palace sources who spoke to People magazine.

Per the insider, Prince William also visited his wife at the London Clinic, where she is receiving treatment, and has adjusted his schedule to assist Kate and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

However, although the Princess of Wales is "doing well" following her "successful" surgery, a recovery process includes a hospital stay of up to fourteen days and further recovery at home for about three months. During this period, she postponed royal duties and planned foreign visits.

Before her hospitalization, the first few months of the year held a hectic schedule for Kate, with a focus on her early years initiative.

However, despite her undergoing surgery, her foundation conducted a meeting at Kensington Palace on Tuesday. The Duchess of Cambridge's plans included various engagements related to the program, and according to insiders, she was "looking forward" to an international trip with William.

The couple had initially planned a brief visit to a location with British military service and their first official tour to Rome, Italy, in the upcoming spring.

Having deferred her public responsibilities until after Easter, Kate is anticipated to resume royal engagements in the second week of April.

In March, the Princess of Wales traditionally participates in two significant celebrations. St. David's Day, on the first of the month, is Wales' national day, and Kate and William, as the Prince and Princess of Wales, often engage in commemorations.

Additionally, the mom-of-three usually joins the Irish Guards' festivities on St. Patrick's Day, where she holds an honorary Colonel position. Kate is also President of the Rugby Football Union alongside Williams and typically attends Six Nations tournament games in February.

Before her ailment, Kate concluded her official duties on December 8, hosting the annual Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey. Her last public appearance was during the royal family's traditional Christmas Day walk to church alongside Prince William and their children.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the palace expressed that Kate "appreciates the interest" of the public, but "she hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible and her wish that her personal medical information remains private."

Furthermore, the statement outlines that Kensington Palace will share updates on her recovery only when there is "significant" information to share.

The statement concluded: "The Princess of Wales wishes to apologize to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible."

Middleton received warm wishes for a swift recovery from East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH), of which she is a patron.

The message expressed well-wishes, saying, "Everyone at East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) sends their very best wishes to our wonderful Patron, HRH The Princess of Wales. We are all thinking of you and wish you a speedy recovery."

Supportive messages from fans flooded social media, with one commenting: "Prayer to the Princess of Wales. As a nurse, no one stays in the hospital for 10-14 days unless it's serious."

Another added: "This is so hard to read. I hope Catherine knows how much we all love her and admire her and I hope William is doing everything in his power to support her."

A third noted, "Very best wishes to the princess. She will be very missed, but her health is so much more important than [being] 'seen,' so rest up and get healthy."

We wish the Princess of Wales a speedy recovery.
