Following a recent abdominal surgery, Kate Middleton is on the path to recovery with unwavering strength and support.
A confidential source close to the royal family shared exclusively with PEOPLE that while the situation may seem grave considering the duration of her recovery, there is confidence in Kate’s ability to overcome this challenge.
The insider expressed assurance that she is receiving top-notch care and will have ample support during her healing process.
Being a young and healthy individual, Kate is expected to recover swiftly.
The 42-year-old Princess underwent a carefully planned abdominal surgery at the private London Clinic on January 16, as officially announced by Kensington Palace the next day.
The statement confirmed that Kate would spend approximately 10 to 14 days in the hospital before transitioning back home to continue her recuperation.
It was also mentioned that her return to public duties might be delayed until after Easter.
While the palace has chosen not to disclose specific details about Kate’s condition, they have clarified that it is noncancerous.
A former patient who underwent a similar procedure at the London Clinic commended the quality of care provided, particularly praising the expertise of the physical therapists in aiding recovery post-surgery.
Scheduled trips to Rome and a military base abroad have been put on hold, with overseas travel deferred for the near future.
Upon returning to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, Kate will have the peace and seclusion necessary for her recovery journey.
Furthermore, she can rely on the unwavering support of her husband, Prince William, and her tight-knit family during this period.
In light of this situation, some of Prince William’s commitments are likely to be postponed as he stands by his wife’s side and ensures the well-being of their family.
A close friend of the couple revealed that despite not having an extensive private staff, William is deeply involved in parenting and is committed to providing a nurturing environment for their children.
Renowned royal biographer Robert Hardman emphasized that Prince William and Kate represent a modern royal duo who prioritize hands-on parenting over delegation to staff.
William’s dedication to ensuring a loving and proper upbringing for their children remains a central focus for the couple during this challenging time.
