Princess of Wales

Apparently it was planned abdominal surgery so not an emergency.

Me too, sodapop.

Yes planned surgery. 10 - 14 days in hospital.
Best wishes to her for a full recovery.

Best wishes for her recovery

This is how you do privacy - nobody knew until the announcement literally just made from Kensington Palace. And nobody will know. Guesses will be made but nothing confirmed. Medical treatment is private and should remain so.

Didn’t know anything about this but do know you don’t get to stay in hospital for that long these days.
Of. course hope all goes well

Not sure what your point is there silverlining

Not back to Royal duties until Easter. Something pretty drastic then. Hysterectomy?

Now the King is having prostate surgery.
2 for 1 offer?

I was only thinking how well the Royal family were doing health wise. I, too hope she makes a full recovery and hope it isn’t anything too serious ( although it must be pretty serious to warrant so much time in hospital). My first thought was hysterectomy and she might struggle to stay so stick thin afterwards.

Let's just all send her the very best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I wish her a speedy recovery.

Hope she recovers smoothly. That is a long time nowadays to be kept in hospital though.

She is clearly not very well at all with such a long hospital stay booked. I hope she makes a good recovery. Her family need her.

It’s probably the difference in care and stay in hospital for private and NHS patients.

Although she could have private nursing care at home?

10-14 days in hospital seems a very long time. Even a hysterectomy is only a couple of days now.

It can't have been planned for that long as she has sent apologies for the engagements she has had to cancel.
I wish her all the best. She does a good job.

I hope she's OK and makes a rapid and full recovery.

I wonder how many people are awaiting NHS treatment for abdominal problems?

Uncalled for Grantanow. I know where you are coming from and do have some empathy however…...... this is the Royal Family!!!

It doesn’t mean that those who can afford private treatment should refuse it. If they did the waiting lists would be even longer.

She hasn’t apparently been seen in public since Boxing Day. That’s suggests to me that it must be a serious problem.

Her engagements are planned at least 6 months in advance I believe.

I wish her all the best. It must be awful to for her and her family to have to cope with all of the intense speculation that is going on already.

Well said GSM .
