Princess of Wales

Kate is in hospital and has had a successful  "planned" abdominal operation.  She is to stay in hospital for up to 14 days.  No mention of what could be wrong, it seems a long hossie recovery time with all her engagements cancelled for 3 months.

Abortion?
She probably feels that this is not the time and the country in which to bring a child!
Perhaps even the Royals will emigrate eventually, if things continue to get worse.

I doubt it and they don't put you in hospital for a fortnight sfaik

[Alex]

Something serious I think, even a hysterectomy which is a major operation you're out in under a week.

[klondike]

Mind you it's the NHS that bungs you out quick and I doubt she's using that. Why would she?

[dextrous63]

Maybe she's transitioning operations and so when Charles dies, we'll have two kings on the throne.

[GrannyMac]

I hope its nothing serious, as a young mother she needs her health.

[Raven]

Hysterectomy was my first thought. She won't get bunged out as they won't be needing the bed for one of the public. Herself will get to rest up and recover a bit before going home.

I imagine wealth can cut down on that need to a degree. Two weeks plus out for a working mother (which most are these days) would be a serious financial setback for many.

I know, but it depends how serious the condition is. I had quite a bit of time off in my thirties after surgery, non life threatening but knackering. I had full sick benefits through my employer, and a good husband who fed and watered the kids.

Private or not, it takes a brave person to stay in hospital nowadays where there is a greater risk of catching something particularly unpleasant.  And I'm not referring to a TV program involving Harry and Megan!!

[Scrumpy]

Oh! to be in a position where you can 'pop in hospital next week' and get treatment an d treated properly..
We, on the other hand , find it hard to see our doctor.. Specialist.. GET A DATE that is carried out..

Good luck to them.. I certainly envy them..

[dextrous63]

Ah, but maybe she's been waiting 18+ month like the rest of us😬

Somehow I very much doubt that. One of them only has to sneeze and doctors are fussing round with thermometers and beechams. 

[Scrumpy]

Sneeze. !!!  They have a special room for sneezing.. Only commoners sneeze whilst in the company of others..
