The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, underwent planned abdominal surgery in January month and has been recovering away from the public eye since then.
Royal commentator Angela Levin provided some insight into the expert royal care Kate is receiving as she recuperates and the support her family, including Prince William and their three children, are providing.
Kate Middleton’s post-surgery recovery
Speaking to GB News, Angela Levin explained that Kate is being kept “very quiet” as part of her recovery process.
Her location has been kept private, with speculation that she was recovering with her parents or at Sandringham Estate.
This privacy allows Kate to properly rest and be closely monitored by doctors and physical therapists.
Levin noted that major surgery requires ample time to regain mobility and strength.
For Kate, an avid athlete, this slower pace of recovery may be difficult but the professional care she is receiving will aid her return to full health.
Having physicians and physical therapists on hand provides both medical expertise and the ability to track Kate’s progress.
Additionally, Prince William has stepped back from a number of his royal duties to be present with Kate and their children during this time.
Levin stated that while Prince George and Princess Charlotte can grasp the situation and be helpful and caring towards their mother, Prince Louis is still young and may have a harder time understanding why Kate needs quiet rest.
He especially will require extra affection and cuddling from family members during this period.
Recently, there was speculation about Kate’s condition since Prince William canceled his attendance at the funeral service of his godfather, King Constantine for “personal matters.”
However, Kensington Palace assured the public that Kate is progressing very well in her recovery.
Levin speculated that should Kate not resume public royal duties after Easter, only then might there be more cause for concern.
For now, she emphasized allowing Kate the proper time to heal based on the specifics of her surgery and unique needs, rather than demanding she adhere to any particular timeline.
So while the public awaits Kate’s return, she can feel secure in the privacy, medical expertise, and family support she is receiving behind the scenes.
