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

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

klondike · January 17, 2024, 04:24:10 PM

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

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

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

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!!

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 · January 18, 2024, 08:20:15 AM

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 · January 18, 2024, 09:37:59 AM

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