Kate Undergoes Successful Surgery, Will Take Months To Recover
Open Discussion, Everyone is Welcome
How everyone feels about Kate today. Getty.
I’m in shock. I had begun to privately comment about Kate’s long absence and wondered if one of her parents were ill. That’s where my mind first went. I honestly didn’t think of Kate herself. As we all know, she’s usually the picture of health. Energetic, glowing, popping with energy. Except when pregnant, you just never think of Kate as sick. But, life is fragile and that point is very clear today. Hugs to all the princess friends, because I know we are all worried for her. I believe in prayer as a compliment to the best medical care. So, let’s surround Kate today with our prayers, our love, and healing positive energy. And also, William, their children, and the Middletons, I can imagine how they feel.
The Times is reporting that Kate successfully underwent planned abdominal surgery on Tuesday at the London Clinic and it is not cancerous. Kate will recover in the hospital for 10 to 14 days. She will then be returning home and continue her recovery there. She is not expected to return to official engagements until after Easter. Other outlets are reporting that Kate was not rushed to the hospital and her condition was not something that came on suddenly this weekend.
It’s understood also that William will cancel all his official engagements while Kate is in the hospital and during her initial recovery period after returning home. The palace is working on revising his schedule. Kate also had to cancel planned engagements in the new year because of this surgery. All of their international travel for the next few months has been postponed as well. Kensington Palace said there will only be updates when significant new information is available to share. The London Clinic, where Kate is being treated, is the UK’s largest, independent private hospital.

The Times also reported that Kate spent her birthday, January 9th, in Windsor with her family. And she was seen during December visiting Marlborough again, as George is making his final choice in schools, with Eton and Marlborough his likely two front-runners.
Honestly, this does sound serious. Simply because of the recovery time involved and although they are saying this was planned, clearly not that far in advance as tours were scheduled. Indeed, it was just recently announced that William and Kate would be visiting a foreign base next month to support UK troops, with the location kept secret for security. That trip has now been postponed. Their Rome trip in the spring is likely to be cancelled.
And announced today, King Charles will be undergoing an operation next week to treat his enlarged prostrate. His condition is benign and this is being called corrective surgery.
This post is free and open for comments, sending everyone hugs today. And please keep Kate and her family in your prayers today, surrounding her with healing light and love.
We are organizing a princess friends prayer circle for Kate tonight. All faiths are welcome. At 8:30 PM EST tonight (Wednesday night), wherever you are in the world, we will all pause and start praying together. If you can't join at 8:30 tonight, but still want to pray tonight, please do! It all matters. Watch our IG stories for the latest.
I said yesterday that at this point, three things might be happening:
1. Extended holiday
2. BTS work we never see
3. Marital issues or family illness
I was really hoping it was 2. but alas it was not,
The state of the world and the internet is horrible - no wonder W&C never share details of their private life. I was talking to someone else saying that a part of me wishes they had shared this AFTER she was discharged, but they dais it would have been too long and a point of no return = they cannot win.
I honestly feel sad when pp say that they know others or they themselves spent less time at the hospital - I mean no disrespect, that is good for you, this is not a competition.
A part of me wonders, what if this Catherine's body saying ENOUGH!
All the hate, vitriol, damage, and evil sent to her over the past few years may just materialized this way. Sometimes when we hide our emotions and never let them out, our body let us know that we are humans and that is not good for us to supress our emotions = we are a ticking bomb and when it explodes it's bad
And before you come at me, I have experience on this - when stress is not handled well - the body resents it
I really hope she recovers well and that KP/W stand up and defend her for once as she deserves = pull out the police, lawyers, lawsuits, etc
She deserves and needs peace, otherwise we shall see a Dec 2012 case happening yet again
