The princess's abdomen
and
The king's prostate

I wonder what AA Milne would have come up with?

Yes, whenever there's a royal thread we get the tinfoil hat brigade...

hope they both get better soon 💐

A hysterectomy does not require a 2 week hospital stay.

I had an abdominal hysterectomy and I also had adhesions between organs due to endometriosis and I was sent home after less 2 and a half day with lots of staples holding things together...

The recovery does take much longer but the hospital stays are usually not that long unless something goes wrong during the procedure.

The tinfoil hat brigade? You mean the people who said elizabeth and philip were both more ill than the palace said?

No. I mean the people who think that absolutely everything is a conspiracy.

If Charles has to have a general anaesthetic for his surgery, does William get to be regent in case a royal signature is needed urgently for any purpose?

Definitely doesn't. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy over 30 years ago and was in hospital 1 night (private hospital).

She is part of the RF so she probably gets to stay longer
Looks as though she is having hysterectomy to me

No the posters who think all these stories are to divert attention away from Andrew!

Camilla who is much older than Kate, was in hospital for 4 days for her hysterectomy. Why would a much younger Royal be in for longer?
Its not a hysterectomy.

😂

That was for Jeff!

How come it’s a vague ‘abdominal surgery’ for Kate yet we’ve all been given the pleasure of knowing about KCs ‘enlarged prostate’?? 🤢

Nothing would surprise me...

😂

Well you just have.

I was in a private hospital.

With a hysterectomy there is no need to stay longer. It is better to recover at home once you are able to walk around and the doctors are satisfied that everything is well.

I can't imagine it would be difficult for her to have the best care at home around the clock.

Exactly.

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

If they really want to play a curveball, get Andrew admitted for surgery too.

He’s just got a solid two weeks of unexpected free shagging mistresses time. He’ll need tile to recover from the exhaustion.

My MIL had an abdominal hysterectomy and stayed in a private hospital, of which her brother was a shareholder and on the board of directors, ie she got treated like a VIP. Even then, she only stayed four nights.
What's more concerning than the hospital stay is the fairly long recovery time. I sincerely hope all is ok. She's a mum with three young kids.

'Public interest' doesn't mean what you think it means, FFS. It's short for 'in the public interest' not 'I'm a nosy member of the public with a prurient imagination so I'm interested.'

Not all hysterectomies are the same. Laparoscopic or open, ovaries taken or left, cervix left or taken. Then there is why it is being done. I was in for six days, the three women who had the op the same day as me were still in when I was discharged.

I was told to take 2 months off work and see my GP if I needed longer.

No idea what she's had done, a hysterectomy isn't impossible but she is entitled to some privacy.

Might be ectopic pregnancy.

Well I’d ask for the 14 days of I had a choice.

She might just be getting a hernia operation and needs to be monitored there.

She can’t be going over and back to get her wound checked as the press would be following her every day.
I’m an optimist.
