Catherine (Kate), Princess of Wales, will spend up to two weeks in hospital to recuperate after successfully undergoing abdominal surgery.
According to a statement on the website of the Palace, the Princess of Wales was admitted to hospital on Tuesday for planned abdominal surgery.
It said the surgery was successful and it was expected that she would remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery.
Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter, the palace said.
“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; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.
“Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.
“The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise 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,” the palace said.
