Princess of Wales

At 42 Kate is not young, she’s approaching middle age!

How do you know what she’s got? I was young and healthy too before my gallstone damage. Plenty of young people stay in for weeks, NHS or private.

On the NHS where you have to wait an entire day for your blood tests to be reviewed? She's young and fit, and wealthy and lacks the co-morbidities most people on the NHS are admitted with. She will get first class service not all day in bed waiting for a ward round at 4 pm.
Strange they announced about the kings ball at the same time to try and mask Kate's situation.

You clearly have no idea. So you stayed 6 weeks in hospital how many people have you seen have gastrointestinal surgeries? I bet I have seen more than you. Kate is young and fit and wealthy. She will not have the comorbidities of a regular person on the NHS.
Your comment is silly. She doesn't have what you had, Crohn's or malignancy.

I was in hospital for two weeks after surgery and I was younger than her.

I hope she isn’t in a ward where one day they randomly add another bed so you’re incredibly squashed like they did with my mum. Or forget to empty her catheter multiple times so her bed gets soaked! Or forget to give her food! Or a random crack addict isn’t put opposite her who causes a riot every night because she wants to go and see her dealer.

Or not check her blood sugars so she almost ends up in a diabetic coma - twice.
Because all these things happened to my mum in December. Not to mention the bed sores.
Two weeks seems a lot but I think rich people get better treatment because they are more important than common people.

Friend was in for more than a month for a twisted bowel that required major surgery. Was touch and go for her. ICU and then HDU. Some surgeries obviously need longer. And yes NHS.

My dad was in rehab NHS for a month after one of his surgeries and he had already been in hospital for around 6 weeks.

I was in hospital for 8days c section after my first due to complications second I was out after 4/5. First I could have stayed longer but I just wanted my own bed as I’d been in hospital from around 30 weeks anyway.

@notthatthis i stayed 21days after my whipple surgery. You’ve clearly no idea how major some surgeries are. Things like hysterectomy, appendix etc aren’t things that require 14 days but I spent 14days in high dependency and another 7 on the ward after the head of my pancreas was removed and all the ducts re-plumbed. 14 days is the average for that but I had major complications, but some are in 5-6wks after a whipple.

If I was turfed out after 2wks with all my drains and NG tube still attached (which required aspirating every 2hrs as my stomach stopped draining) I wouldn’t have made it to the hospital exit. One lady on the ward had been in 6wks, due to 2 major bowel surgeries for Crohn’s disease. What a silly comment, you clearly have no idea.

Thank you. I can’t even begin to describe how awful the first couple of weeks in HDU were. I had it for chronic pancreatitis so it has brought me some relief, but I’ll always be on some kind of strong pain killers. But it’s meant I’ve been able to eat relatively normal again without horrific pain. I struggle saying then words it was worth it as I genuinely felt like I’d have happily died during those first 2 weeks (massive complications) but it was, my life is much better 5yrs on. I’ve got such a neat scar that you’d never know what’s gone on inside there. All caused by a stray gallstone damaging the pancreatic duct. Lesson there to anyone putting off getting a gallbladder removal, get it done as those little stones have changed my life. Thank you for your message, not many understand how brutal a whipple is. I sincerely hope the Princess hasn’t had anything like that done.

Oh man, whipples are rough! I hope you have recovered fully and without complications.

She will not want to stay in longer than she needs to. I am sure like most mothers she would rather be home with her children.

No idea why PoW is in hospital but she is in there. I was there earlier today and there are police on every door and inside. I don’t believe they would stand around as decoy if she’d already gone home.

It’s a lovely hospital but no/one wants to stay longer than necessary. I hope she gets well soon.

I very much doubt that the Princess of Wales will be eating from the hospital menu.😂

With your thumbs?

No one needs 14 days on hospital, surely that depends on what the issue is?

Well I heard it's actually Kate having her prostate out and the king having a hysterectomy. Newspapers are mixed up. So there.

My DD was in that hospital for 2 days last year as she was a stem cell donor. Anthony Nolan Trust pay them to collect the stem cells once they have matched a donor ( my DD gave a swab six years ago at school and never thought of it again till she got a call!)
the hospital isn’t that fancy. There is a menu with paninis and soup instead of white NHS toast ( nirvana after you have had a baby !) but definitely a hospital you would not want to stay in longer than necessary. So I am surprised at the length of stay and was pleased to hear it’s not cancer as that was my first thought.
hope the two weeks is a cover and she is out much quicker

Makes me think of the old NHS, when patients were brought in a day or even a few days before an operation to prepare/stop medication/ensure nil by mouth etc. And then left to recuperate for a good few weeks after the operation. Bed rest has also become a thing of the past.

Now you just go in in the morning on something akin to a conveyor belt, and out as soon as possible, maybe the same day or next day! Depending on what it is of course.

The RF used the BM to drill into the public that they and the general public have a right to know what H and his family are up to, what they look like, where they live etc because they are or were working royals or because they have a title, spent tax payers' money or just because.
Charles tells us in advance he'll be in hospital for a couple of days and why but she who must not be questioned demands her subjects shut up, work and pay their taxes to fund her lifestyle! Two week stay and signed off for 2 months with full array of domestic servants after a successful operation.
If only they'll think for a minute and stop seeing themselves as unworthy commoners deserving only of the dregs of the NHS which they actually work and pay for!

You can't be serious. LOL @Combusting @Savedpassword

Apparently it's mental health related. Nobody her age needs a 14 day hospital stay post surgery - not even in the private sector. Someone mentioned ED. It would seem more likely! Announcing Chuck's prostate right after seems like a cover up. Bizarre!

Everything I posted is evidence based, backed up empirically and by research, not ideology.

Obviously just binning the Monarchy isn't enough.

I never said the Monarchy caused poverty, but they certainly entrenched wealth inequality. Most of the land dished out by William the Conqueror is in the hands of those same families.

I could go on, but I can't be arsed as you seem a bit intransigent.

My cyst was 10cm x 6cm and turned out to be cancer. I was in hospital for two nights. And yes they whipped everything out.

same, I got crafty though after afew years & used other things, I have no idea if PoW is bulimic but I just wanted to reply in solidarity to a fellow suffer, I hope you're healthier now

The speculation on this thread is really nasty.

Plasters on thumbs and fingers taped together (presumably a break/strain type injury) means bulimia? Really?
