Kate Middleton Hospitalized Following Abdominal Surgery
Kate Middleton is taking time out of the public eye to focus on her health.
According to a Jan. 17 statement from Kensington Palace, the Princess of Wales was "admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery."
"The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, before returning home to continue her recovery," the Palace continuedคำพูดจาก สล็อต888 PG. "Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."
And while Kate "appreciates the interest this statement will generate," the royal family member "hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality" for her and Prince Williams' children—Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5—as possible.
Kensington Palace also noted that Kate wants her medical information to remain private and updates will only be shared with the public when "there is significant new information."คำพูดจาก สล็อต888 PG
