Princess Catherine, also known as the Princess of Wales, will remain in the hospital for a third night after undergoing major abdominal surgery.
Her husband, Prince William, along with her parents and siblings, have cleared their schedules to support her recovery and care for their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The surgery took place at the London Clinic in Marylebone, coinciding with King Charles announcing his short break for treatment due to an enlarged prostate.
Fortunately, Princess Catherine is reported to be doing well as she recovers from the procedure.
Prince William has postponed his engagements to spend as much time as possible by her bedside.
In addition, he is taking on the responsibility of supporting their young children back at Windsor.
He aims to maintain normality for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, even in their mother’s absence.
With the help of their nanny, Maria, and Kate’s family, particularly her parents, Michael and Carol Middleton, who are experienced hands-on grandparents, the children will receive the care they need.
Princess Catherine’s parents and siblings, including Pippa Matthews and James Middleton, are already providing support during her recovery at her home in Windsor, which is conveniently close to their own residences.
Although the specifics of her condition have not been disclosed, Kensington Palace confirmed that it is not related to cancer.
Prince William recently visited his wife in the hospital, leaving in an Audi e-tron GT carbon Vorsprung, followed by Royal Bodyguards in a Range Rover.
Meanwhile, King Charles is scheduled for a procedure next week to address his enlarged prostate.
Queen Camilla assured everyone today that he is doing fine and looking forward to returning to work.
On Thursday, the Prince of Wales was seen leaving the private London clinic in Marylebone after spending the morning with Princess Catherine.
She may need up to two weeks to recuperate fully.
With Prince William also taking time off to care for his wife and children, the so-called “Big Three Royals” will be absent from their duties in the coming weeks.
With Prince Harry and Meghan in the United States and Prince Andrew facing controversy, only Princess Anne and Prince Edward remain available for royal engagements.
Princess Catherine is not expected to make public appearances until after Easter, and Prince William will continue to prioritize his family during this time.
Any upcoming royal tours planned by William and Kate have been canceled due to the circumstances.
Speculation about a visit to Italy in March has been put to rest.
While the nature of the princess’s condition remains undisclosed, Kensington Palace confirmed that it is not cancerous.
However, it is serious enough for Prince William to postpone his official duties and focus on his wife’s recovery and their family.
The absence of the “Big Three Royals” has left a void in the royal family’s engagements.
Buckingham Palace recently announced that King Charles III will undergo a corrective procedure for his enlarged prostate next week.
As a result, Princess Anne and Prince Edward are now the primary members available for royal duties.
