Princess Kate hospitalised after abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace says • FRANCE 24 English

I think the first thing we should say is that we’ve had these two Royal announcements we very rarely hear about the health of uh the royal family but of course these are two senior Royals so first came that announcement that Kate the Princess of Wales has had has had in

Fact uh planned abdominal surgery at a private Hospital in London that she was admitted to the London clinic in central London yesterday the operation on Tuesday was successful we are told and Katherine who is aged 42 will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days Kensington

Palace has said now based on the current medical advice they say she’s unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter so until after the 31st of March we understand it’s not cancerous she’s in the best hands possible uh the palace has declined to provide further information about the princess’s

Condition the palace added that the princess is aware of the interest uh indeed that her surgery will generate and hopes the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible and Royal sources say her husband Prince William uh the Prince of

Wales plans to combine being by both his wife and their children’s sides throughout the recovery process because once she leaves hospital she will then be recovering back in their home uh in Windsor so it’s thought that two short overseas tours planned for the coming weeks have now been postponed and

Benedict uh what do we know then about the situation for the King yes so then suddenly that announcement uh separately Bucky and Palace announced that King Charles is being treated for an enlarged prostate his condition we’re told is benign and what’s interesting is in the statement

We are in 2024 I think it’s the palace knowing that people have got mobile phones that he could be seen that Kate could have been seen going to the hospital and this could leak so I think they’re trying to get in front of these stories and they say that like thousands

Of men uh King Charles will under go corrective surgery for prostate next week and his public engagements will be postponed for a short period so no alarm uh but two senior Royals the king the Monarch himself uh aged uh 75 and uh the uh his daughter-in-law Princess Kate 42

Uh both have medical conditions we now know about

The Princess of Wales has been hospitalized after undergoing planned abdominal surgery and will remain at a private hospital for up to two weeks, Kensington Palace said Wednesday. The former Kate Middleton is expected to return to public duties after Easter, the palace said. The 42-year-old future queen was admitted to The London Clinic on Tuesday.
