Princess Kate has officially left hospital after spending a fortnight admitted under the care of medics after “planned” abdominal surgery. The future Queen and mum-of-three is now expected to return home to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to continue her recovery.
Kensington Palace had confirmed the 42-year-old had been admitted to The London Clinic in Marylebone on January 16, also cementing her 10 to 14 day recovery time in the facility. On Monday afternoon, the news had been confirmed that the princess had left.
The public are not due to see her now at any engagements until the latter end of next month, with a long recovery time expected. Despite the confirmation of abdominal surgery, the palace added that the nature of the procedure would be kept private.
Princess Kate leaves the clinic after it was confirmed King Charles remained under the same roof for three nights, sparking fears about his health and recovery. The King had visited his daughter-in-law before he too went and had a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate.
Princess Kate was admitted to hospital on Tuesday January 16 for planned abdominal surgery. Aides have not identified her condition but it is understood to be non-cancerous.
But sources have indicated that Kate may wish to open up on her condition in the future.
Kensington Palace said in a statement: “Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery.
“The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.”
Princess Kate was first admitted to hospital on Tuesday January 16 for the successful abdominal surgery. She has spent 13 nights and 14 days at The London Clinic, having been discharged on Monday, January 29.
Kate received a number of visitors during her fourteen day stay, including from her devoted husband Prince William and King Charles and Queen Camilla on Friday.The pair popped in ahead of the King’s planned prostate surgery later that day.
