Kensington Palace says Kate Middleton had stomach surgery at a private London hospital. The operation was successful, although she will be hospitalized for 10–14 days and should take a break from royal duties until after Easter.
Kate’s surgery has raised health concerns, and admirers have sent well wishes. The longer hospital stay suggests her rehabilitation may be harder than expected, doctors say.
Medical expert Dr. Deborah Lee says most patients stay in the hospital for four to seven days after stomach surgery. It may take two months or longer to recover and regain mobility.

Princess Kate’s rehabilitation will require Prince William to care for their three children with Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, their longtime babysitter. Kate’s previous operations and inpatient suffering may also affect her recuperation.
The cause for the surgery is unknown, but Kate’s health is in question and she will require time to recover. We wish Kate a fast recovery.
