Princess of Wales hospitalized?

Posted by Linda C on January 17, 2024, 9:41 am

Has anyone else heard this. FOX news reported that she had abdominal surgery and will be in the hospital for at least two weeks. I am a nurse and really wonder what type of surgery would require that long of a hospital stay. Anyone heard any more about this?

ABC is running the story also. Said the same thing--in hospital for two weeks. Said it was a developing story. Planned surgery.

GBNews just released a story. Said after hospitalization, she would recover 2-3 months. Prince William has cancelled all appointments while Katherine is in hospital.

Sounds serious. I have a couple of ideas which I will keep to myself. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

So all we know is that it wasn’t an emergency procedure and that a full recovery is expected. Not that we need to know more, but we the public are a nosy bunch. Especially we the message board. All we can do is send good wishes and start taking bets on what she’ll be wearing for her return to duty. I’m voting floral print dress to a museum or art gallery.

The Princess of Wales will spend up to two weeks in hospital after having successful abdominal surgery, royal aides revealed today - as others also announced that King Charles III will attend hospital next week to be treated for an enlarged prostate.

The future Queen will then return home to Windsor to continue her recovery with the support of her family, Kensington Palace said. It is understood not to be cancerous.

Planned? I'm not so sure about that. I certainly wish her a speedy and complete recovery whatever the issue was. I can think of a few things but it would be pure speculation.

I’m going to agree that I don’t think it was planned. That’s all I will say before I get lambasted with comments. I just hope it’s not serious. Considering that the Royals spend as little time as possible in the hospital since they have so much help at home, I can’t help but wonder what’s going on. That’s just my opinion.

It was a scheduled procedure, Catherine cancelled an engagement on Mon. The Express ran a sparky article on it.
I have a sure bet on the procedure. I'd noticed since Oct. Catherine didn't look as if she felt up to par some days. She looked pale and drawn. Then, there were days she appeared fine. I'm sure the nonsense that last rew didn't help.

I agree it was scheduled but my point was that I believe this is something that was needed to be done and was not elective.

Oh, I wasn't disputing you, I was just saying it was scheduled as opposed to elective or emergency.

I'm going for elective.

Either way elective or necessary, the procedure has to be scheduled to reserve an OR room and crew. We already know from the Palace announcement it wasn't an emergent case.
