Her Royal Highness Kate Middleton has recently undergone abdominal surgery and was hospitalized at The London Clinic in Marylebone on January 16, 2024, as revealed by the Royal Family’s Instagram page. The palace announced that the surgery was successful, and she is expected to stay in the hospital for ten to fourteen days before returning home for further recovery. The condition is reported as “not cancerous,” and the family requests privacy for Middleton and her children, sharing medical updates only when necessary.

Kensington Palace apologized on behalf of the Princess of Wales for postponing her upcoming engagements and expressed her anticipation of resuming public duties soon. Prince William, her husband, will also step away from royal duties to support Middleton during her recovery and spend time with their three children: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

Known for their active involvement in parenting, the royal couple participates in school events and activities for their children, often attending important occasions at Lambrook School in Berkshire. Despite their royal status, sources reveal that Middleton and Prince William act like “normal mum and dad,” participating in events like carol concerts and school fairs, emphasizing their commitment to family life. The insider noted that Prince William considers training Prince George for his future role as King of England as his paramount duty.
