9 september 2024 в 19:37
Hospitalization of Kate Middleton became international news earlier this year. On January 17, Kensington Palace assured the public in a statement that her «planned abdominal surgery» was «successful» and not a cause for concern. Shortly before the statement was released, her husband Prince William was seen visiting her in the hospital. However, on March 22, the Princess of Wales announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer. On September 9, Kate confirmed through social media that she had completed treatment and was dedicated to remaining «cancer-free».
«As summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to finally have completed chemotherapy», - the princess said in her statement. «Maintaining freedom from cancer is now my goal. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to recovery and full restoration is long, and I need to continue taking each day as it comes».
Here are all the updates on Kate’s recent operation and her past health issues.
On January 17, 2024, Kensington Palace issued an unprecedented statement revealing that the Princess of Wales had been hospitalized.
«Her Royal Highness was hospitalized for a planned abdominal operation», - the palace statement read. «The operation was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in the hospital for ten to fourteen days before returning home to continue her recovery. According to current medical advice, she will not return to public duties until Easter».
The palace statement continued: «The Princess of Wales thanks you for the interest that this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normalcy as possible for her children, and her wish for her personal medical information to remain confidential. Kensington Palace will provide updates on Her Royal Highness’s progress only when there is significant new information to share. The Princess of Wales wishes to apologize to everyone for having to postpone upcoming events. She looks forward to the opportunity to reschedule as many of them as soon as possible».
According to many sources, Kate’s operation was not cancerous and did not threaten her life. It is still unclear why she needed a «planned» procedure.
Shortly before her hospitalization became known, photographs of William leaving the hospital were spotted by paparazzi. Sources also reported that the Prince of Wales had rearranged his schedule to support his wife and children, according to a report from PEOPLE.
Later, the publication reported that close members of the royal family were as surprised as the public when Kate was hospitalized. Although everything seemed fine with the Princess of Wales in December, those who work with the royal family noticed that some public events were left up in the air for her attendance, according to the publication. As for why she and the royal family decided to keep her operation a secret compared to the announcement of King Charles III’s surgery, PEOPLE reported that her choice was in line with the palace’s statement: to maintain «as much normalcy» for her children. Charles, however, chose to disclose the news of his operation to the public because it seemed «reasonable» to do so.
«It was reasonable to be more open about it, otherwise people might think the worst», - a palace source told the publication about Charles’s choice to announce it publicly.
After the operation, sources also reported that Kate is «doing everything possible»
