The abdominal surgery must have been pretty huge to expect a fortnight stay in hospital. I had a total gastrectomy and total vagotomy and only stayed ten days.

It's very strange that KP informed the world about POW's operation. Most of us wouldn't have noticed she was missing in action and presumed she was at home parenting.

Well I had seven legs removed and was only in for ten minutes so something must be really wrong with her. FFS ..how on earth is it relevant how long other people stayed in hospital for and, as far as we know, what could be wildly different procedures.

Kate - if you are reading this I hope it doesn’t hurst too much when you laugh at some of the stupid comments on here!

This.

It's the same on the Royal Family Forum. Everyone insisting that because their
Aunty Margaret was out digging the garden 10 minutes after her hysterectomy NO ONE could POSSIBLY need longer than that to recuperate.

RosesAndHellebores · 18/01/2024 18:00

I bet she giggled about the crab post. Bet that was Harry posting.

RosesAndHellebores · 18/01/2024 17:59

I hope she makes a full recovery. I imagine it's serious and that's why the King announced his enlarged prostate. As a deflection technique due to the seriousness.

What it highlights is that physical shit happens even if you are the future Queen.

Very much hoping all will be well.

3luckystars · 18/01/2024 17:57

She should have just pretending she was going in for a visit and got caught up.

Mumsnet is not a window on the world. That's reserved for (mostly) men who decide what we need to know and what we aren't told.

Speculation is inevitable where there is no relevant information given.

Oh heck, what could it be now? An overdose leading to stomach perforation, gynae, liver disease that led to abdominal issues, bowel, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, who knew there were so many organs in that region of the body.

So you see when we were told, we were told nothing. So speculation happens. It is quite normal and I have no issue with it. Blame the Royal PR machine or whoever drip feeds all the positives about them to us.

I suspect she was already home when the information was published.

@user1477255159 It is to do the role Charles did when he was Prince Of Wales. Charles was very active in overseeing the Duchy. William is not interested.

Well, apart from the money he gets from it.

Goodness me. I am thinking that this is getting a bit much now. BP should not have said anything, unless they had to. Who would have noticed anyway.

Part of me hopes she's having something fun, like a boob lift or a BBL.

No surgery is “fun” is it?

Don't really need to know HRH's prostate either

He isn't HRH any longer,

He's the King so he's HM.

Not my King.

She is in a private hospital. Stays are likely to be longer

Not at all. I’ve had significant gynae surgery twice privately (once at The London Clinic) and you’re out the next day if they can. Beds are at a premium, the surgeons want to move on to the next patient.

People are chucked out too soon from NHS hospitals because their beds are desperately needed.
Rich folk in private facilities, not so much.

Wish her well.

I was in an nhs hospital for three weeks. One week to work out what was wrong with me then surgery then two weeks in hospital. Followed by three months off work

oh quite. My husband too. 10 days on AMU awaiting diagnosis. I was assuming though that this was planned surgery not requiring diagnosis. 3 weeks recovery is a long time in hospital.

Myhubbyisasweetheart · 18/01/2024 17:31

You're not the Princess of Wales, so you don't get her royal extra stay

Its obvious she must be detoxing off hard drugs to be in for that long. I expect she’s managed to keep her addiction hidden thanks to all the cooks/nanny’s.

@user1477255159 replied at 17:06, quoting the above

This is what sources are saying.

Can you tell us what sources are saying the PoW is detoxing off hard drugs, @user1477255159

You're one of the merry band who would be OUTRAGED at the mildest criticism of Harry and Meghan, I presume.

A tummy tuck?

There's speculation. Then there's stupidity.

Where exactly is this tummy that needs tucking?

Exactly. Besides I know at least 3 people who had a tummy tuck in the last year and they were all in hospital for 24/48 hours max.
