Princess of Wales Kate Middleton was recently admitted to the hospital.
She will only return to work in a few months.
Middleton’s father-in-law is also set to be hospitalized in the coming days following his health issues.
Her Royal Highness Kate Middleton recently made headlines after being hospitalized. The Royal Family has since given an update about when the senior royal member would resume her duties and why after a while.
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, was admitted to The London Clinic in Marylebone on January 16, 2024, the Royal Family recently revealed on their Instagram page.
According to the palace, Middleton was hospitalized for abdominal surgery, which was a success. She is expected to remain in the hospital for “ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery,” they wrote, adding:
“Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.”
Middleton, whose condition is reportedly “not cancerous,” hopes the family would be given privacy in this instance for the sake of her children and wishes that her personal medical information be kept private. As such, Kensington Palace will only share updates on her progress when there is important information to be shared with the general public.
On behalf of the Princess of Wales, Kensington Palace issued an apology “to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements.” Middleton is said to look forward to continuing with many more public engagements much sooner.

Meanwhile, the royal’s longtime husband, Prince William, will also step away from his royal duties and postpone his trips to be by her side during her recovery and spend time with their children.
The royal couple shares three kids: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, who recently returned to school after a holiday break. Middleton previously expressed that she wanted to take time off her royal duties in order to spend more time with her kids during school closures.
The mother of three and the heir to the British throne are known for their hands-on approach when parenting their children. They both have active roles in caring for their sons and their only daughter.
That said, it would reportedly not be much of a hassle for the Prince to juggle parenthood with his official duties because he typically does that often. Fatherhood for Prince William is of the utmost importance.
He reportedly has what he considers one paramount duty – training his eldest child, Prince George — who is set to take the reins one day as King of England, being second in the line of succession.
An insider claimed that the father of three and his wife are considered normal parents who actively participate in events at their children’s schools. They reportedly never miss an occasion at Lambrook School in Berkshire, where their kids are enrolled.
