Princess Kate Middleton’s recent abdominal surgery has created a lot of anticipation among fans of the British royals.
Many are eager to learn more details about the health of Prince William’s wife.
A Spanish journalist, an expert on the British monarchy, has revealed some information that could shed light on the reason for and course of the surgery.
What happened during Kate Middleton’s abdominal surgery?
According to the official statement of Kensington Palace, published last Wednesday, January 17, 2024, Princess Kate underwent a scheduled abdominal surgery, which will require a period of hospitalization between 10 and 14 days and subsequent convalescence at home.
It was also announced that the Princess would not resume her official engagements for another three months.

Precisely this period of absence alerted more than one to what kind of procedure the mother of George, Charlotte and Louis underwent to be in such a long recovery.
In this context, the Spanish journalist Concha Calleja, who specializes in the affairs of the British royal family and is the author of two books on the life of Diana of Wales, stated that Princess Kate had been ill for several weeks.
Specifically, Kate was suffering from an abdominal ailment that forced her to enter the hospital on December 28 last year.
“Although it was not an emergency, the operation had a certain urgency,” he said.
Calleja, who says he spoke unofficially with an assistant of the British royal family, has assured that the operation was planned, but that “something went wrong in the post-operative period”.
The journalist explained that the British royal household decided to report on the operations of King Charles III and Princess Kate within a short period of time because “the situation was serious enough to let everyone know that something was very wrong in the royal household”.
However, the latest reports on the Princess’s health indicate that she is recovering satisfactorily and that there is no cause for alarm.
The Times reported that the Princess of Wales will continue to work while on bed rest to recover from the operation, although her priority will be her family and then her daily commitments.
For the time being, no further details have been offered on the nature or cause of the abdominal surgery that the future British queen has undergone.
