On January 17, Kensington Palace announced that the Duchess of Cambridge underwent planned abdominal surgery and was expected to remain hospitalized for approximately two weeks. Her return to public engagements was anticipated post-Easter.
After spending 13 days in the hospital, Kate Middleton expressed gratitude to well-wishers in her first public statement upon reuniting with her husband, Prince William, and their three children on January 29. She also extended special thanks to the "dedicated nursing staff" at The London Clinic.
In a recent statement, Kensington Palace conveyed, "The Duchess of Cambridge has returned to Windsor to continue her recuperation post-surgery and is progressing well."
Prince William and Duchess Kate expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the entire medical team at The London Clinic for their exceptional care. The royal couple also extended their gratitude for the global outpouring of support and well wishes they've received.
While the specifics of the Duchess's medical condition remain undisclosed, the Palace previously clarified that it is not related to cancer. Kate Middleton has opted to keep her personal medical details private.
Kensington Palace emphasized that updates on the Duchess's health will only be provided when there is "significant new information to share."
