Oh, good grief, the media, especially the tabloids need to chill out. As I wrote in a previous thread, the Royal Family and each of their staff will cover everything, it will be handled. Catherine's patronages will handled her absence. When Catherine took her maternity leave with each child, they were about the same length of time, if not a bit longer. The King will have a shorter length of recovery, we hope, but the world won't end.
One minute the media is harping about how necessary are all the Royals and now it's a crisis because two members are dealing with health issues and how is the UK to cope? Give me a break.
