@Greengreenpastures they have never over estimated hospital stays for any other Royal. So not sure why they would start now.
The Royals tend to stay in hospitals for less time than other private patients as they get such good care at home.
It may be something not life threatening, but it is obviously something that needs careful medical monitoring that is best in a hospital.

Me too, hopefully mn will review it

@User3563573

because if you read the articles Charles asked them to to encourage other men to get checked

as to Catherine it something she chooses not to reveal which is her Chou e

You don't generally have planned surgery unless there's a problem. It's not inconceivable that, for instance, a grumbling appendix would stop her doing the school run.

It's hardly surprising as she is famous worldwide and her husband is heir to the throne.

As an example of public interest you also opened this thread and responded.

You know I can’t believe some of the nasty posts on here

Catherine does not have to reveal her medical condition to us, how long she may or may not have had it for, and what other treatment she may have had

some of the speculation on here, and the comments are just shameful

People are back to normal activities 2-4 weeks after an appendix operation, not 3 months afterwards. The exception is if you have other medical conditions, but Kate has always seemed very healthy and is young.

@Tinkerbyebye nobody has once said she has to reveal her medical condition. Do not post strawmen.

lol at all the moaners knowing full well what the thread would contain despite finding it so very distasteful opening the thread reading the thread and taking the time to tell everyone off for being so dreadful 😂😂

Bye bye then Tinkerbyebye

AAA repair is almost unheard of in young women. Does seem a bit of a mystery though, and of course it's none of our business. Just seems sort of natural to want to speculate.

She is a queen. You are either a queen consort or queen regnant. We never qualified the late queen as Queen Regnant Elizabeth II.

I'm wondering if its ectopic pregnancy as a friend of mine had planned surgery (its not always emergency surgery if caught early enough) and was in hospital 10 days and took longer to physically and mentally recover.

@FrancisSeaton there is a certain kind of person who just likes to tell other people off. A thread like this is manna for them.

Camilla is the Queen.

Seriously 😒

She's been admitted for a fairly long spell all right.

It isn't just two weeks. She's also cancelled any official engagements between now and Easter. That would have been noticed.

Re. hospitals, it depends. King Edward VII a few streets away from the London Clinic is one of the hospitals the Royals use, but DoE had heart surgery at Bart's, and PoW, not to mention others have had children at St Mary's.

My mother was at the London Clinic for various treatments, and King Edward VII f(or that matter). Many private consultants with many different specialties work at both. Usually it's a case of going where a specific doctor operates.

Surprised no one has suggested that this is another attempt to deflect from Andrew.

You doubt William is being lazy? Really?! Both of them are pretty workshy. She is being given much better care than the average citizen, I don't think we can read much at all into her getting a nice long stay in hospital and her husband dropping his few commitments.

Yes she obviously needs 3 months recovery time after 2 weeks in hospital. It must be a big operation.

To be honest anything could be going on. I don't exactly trust the royals to be honest about much I mean look how the Prince Andrew saga was handled

Agree - one of the big coincidences is that wealthy medics like surgeons tend to take big holidays at times like skiing season, then all come back around the same time. My private consultant has just come back from 4 weeks off over Christmas and her appointments & surgeries thus week were booked back in Nov/Dec.

This, or they’ve said two weeks and look how marvellous she’s done going home in just 3 days, it’s a miracle, she is wonderful. Cancer surgery doesn’t get 2 weeks if you’re removing half the abdomen usually.
