In a recent development, Princess Catherine, also known as the Princess of Wales, has undergone planned abdominal surgery at the London Clinic. The surgery, confirmed as successful by Kensington Palace, took place on Tuesday. The 42-year-old royal is expected to remain in the hospital for a recovery period of ten to fourteen days.
The palace released an official statement, expressing that the procedure was planned and that Princess Catherine is anticipated to return home to Windsor to continue her recovery. Despite the successful surgery, it has been revealed that she is unlikely to resume her public duties until after Easter, based on current medical advice.
The palace, while respecting the princess’s wish for privacy, did not disclose specific details about the nature of the surgery. However, they assured the public that the condition is not related to cancer. The statement highlighted Princess Catherine’s desire to maintain normalcy for her children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—and her hope for understanding from the public.
The princess expressed her apologies for the postponement of upcoming engagements, emphasizing her eagerness to reinstate them as soon as possible. Kensington Palace assured the public that updates on her progress will be provided only when there is significant new information to share.

Princess Catherine was last seen in public during Christmas in Sandringham with her husband, Prince William, and their three children. Prince William, committed to supporting his wife during her recovery, is reportedly planning to fulfill his royal duties while staying by her side. The couple will not be engaging in any international travel for the foreseeable future.
The London Clinic, where the surgery took place, is described as the UK’s largest independent private hospital. As Princess Catherine prepares for her recovery, her husband, the Prince of Wales, is expected to postpone some of his engagements to care for their children. During this period, he will not undertake official duties.
The public is left awaiting further updates on the princess’s health, with Kensington Palace committed to sharing information responsibly and when deemed necessary. We wish Princess Catherine a swift and smooth recovery during this period of rest.
