Kate, Princess of Wales, is facing up to two weeks in hospital following planned abdominal surgery, the British royal’s office said on Wednesday.
“The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10-14 days, before returning home to continue her recovery,” Kensington Palace said.
The operation was successful and Catherine – known by many as Kate – will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, it said.
It is unclear what the surgery was for, but a royal source told CNN that the 42-year-old’s condition was non-cancerous.
The princess of Wales is anticipated to recuperate at her Windsor home after being released, according to the royal source.
According to the source, she will probably be told to take two to three months off from work, and when she returns to official activities, it will rely on medical advice.
