Britain’s Kate, Princess of Wales, is “doing well” after undergoing abdominal surgery this week, a royal source told Reuters on Thursday, while Queen Camilla said King Charles was also “doing well” before receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Kate (42 years old) was transferred to a private hospital in London, on Tuesday, to undergo surgery, and her office at Kensington Palace said that the operation was successful, but she is expected to remain for 10 to 14 days in the hospital before returning home.
No details were provided about her illness or the surgery, but a royal source told Reuters that the condition was not related to cancer.
The lenses captured pictures of Prince William (41 years old) leaving the hospital after visiting his wife yesterday, Thursday, but he did not speak to the media, and the prince postponed several public engagements until Kate recovered.
Kensington Palace said it would not provide further details about Kate’s improvement until there was “significant new information to share.” He added that Kate, who has three children with the heir to the throne, was unlikely to resume public duties until after Easter.
The announcement of Kate’s surgery came on Wednesday, shortly after a statement was issued stating that King Charles (75 years old) would receive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
King Charles and Princess Kate fell ill.. What are the details of the two surgeries?
Buckingham Palace announced that British Monarch King Charles will be admitted to hospital next week due to an enlarged prostate, less than two hours after it was announced that the Princess of Wales will undergo abdominal surgery that will keep her in the hospital for two weeks.
He is due to go to hospital next week to undergo a “corrective procedure” and has also had to postpone a number of planned engagements on the advice of his doctor to allow him a short period of recovery.
His wife, Camilla, told reporters on Thursday that he was “fine” and “looking forward to getting back to work” during her visit to the Aberdeen Art Gallery in Scotland.
Members of the royal family usually do not reveal details of the diseases they suffer from, as they consider all medical matters private. However, Charles was keen to share details of his condition to encourage other men suffering from symptoms of this disease to undergo a medical examination.
