@Newchapterbeckons spoken like someone who's never experienced the issue

Oh do grow up. We pay for everyone’s hospital treatment through the NHS.

The state of this thread, how is it allowed to run and run with so many hideous and unkind comments about someone’s PRIVATE medical situation? Now it’s enabling comments about why they didn’t just say it’s a hysterectomy?!?! Seriously?

I had one at 41.

I was and out in 14 hours 😂😳

Lol it's hardly a private medical situation if an announcement has been made on the news

She wouldn’t be out of action for that long for a hysterectomy. Especially not with her high fitness levels and relative youth. And William wouldn’t be taking time off - not much anyway. They have a ton of paid lackeys too.

Meghan poisoned her, perhaps. 😀 Someone will manage to blame her for it I’m sure.

Seriously, I’m not a royalist but this is a person who’s probably feeling very anxious now about something significant. I hope she’ll get through whatever it is.

On another note, here's hoping the children are okay; royal or not it's no fun to see your mum disappear to hospital, and the worry will be just the same for them

i should think that the security and access control issues are rather easier to manage in a private hospital than an NHS one

FFS stop spreading misinformation about the medical conditions of women you don’t know!

^^This. Very intrusive and unnecessary.

One way or another we all pay for the Royals expensive, privileged lifestyle. Whatever is wrong with her you can be assured that she didn't have to live with it for months or even years, no queuing for her. Do you think the Royals even get billed for this sort of thing?

Oh Meghan has already been blamed on the cesspit that is X or whatever it calls itself these days

It's a routine operation, pre-planned. However, there may well be risks associated with it. Who knows?

King Charles has undergone surgery on his prostate, but all is well and it's benign - though no one is speculating wildly about that.

My issue is that we, the tax payers, are paying for a lengthy stay in private hospital, plus a hefty recuperation period. I went private for a routine abdominal operation (it wasn't a hysterectomy) and only spent a week in the hospital - recuperation was 4 weeks.

No, the announcement that she’s recovering from an operation was announced, not a breakdown of her private and confidential medical records or conditions.

I think it’s rather pointless to be coming on the thread to tell people to stop talking. Ofc they are going to talk!! It’s a forum, and most pp are concerned.

@StillCreatingAName so you expect people not to discuss something that's in the news?

Yeah don't talk about a breaking news story. Btw I'm also in here but I'm morally superior by not talking about it

Lol at the comme ts about protecting her privacy but where was everyone when megahns privacy was being invaded ...love coming to these threads to see the double standards pure entertainment

Could be a burst appendix. I was in hospital for 2 weeks with that

I think it's absolutely horrible that there is so much speculation on the operation and her health. Surely she's entitled to the same medical privacy as everyone else.

People should mind their own business. What is wrong with people and their need to know things that are none of their concern.

We don't know what she's having done. I had an abdominal hysterectomy privately and was only in for two nights - paid for by insurance and they'd authorised far more than the eventual cost of the operation so I could have stayed in longer - but frankly I was desperate to get home, and I was walking, eating and using the loo OK by that stage so they were fine to discharge me.

But one assumes she wouldn’t be spending weeks in hospital away from her children if it wasn’t necessary.

In terms of recuperation, she’ll be at home, with her existing servants waiting on her, so I don’t see how that is incurring any extra costs to the taxpayer. If anything it will probably save us some money on clothes/hair/travel costs.

Lucky Katie didn't have to Wait-y for the NHS queue.

Seriously? You aren’t paying for it, it will be funded by the duchy of Cornwall. Which all that families expenses are funded by, so unless you mean by buying their sausages it’s not you paying it.

and she’s not staying in longer as she’s royal, how ludicrous. If anything they go home sooner due to the level of care they get at home.

shes in for 10- 14 days as that’s what she needs due to the type of surgery she’s having. What that is is none of our business, but highly unlikely to be only a full abdominal hysterectomy, as a young healthy woman would be out much sooner, it maybe that and something else, but it’s none of our business, she’s asked for it to stay private and is concerned about her kids.

it clearly also wasn’t planned that long ago, as William is having to clear his diary to be home with the kids and see her in hospital.

They've said the King is going in next week for a routine operation for a benign prostate condition. There are two possible procedures. DH has had the one that typically requires 1 night in hospital and then he was signed off work for a week to recuperate and advised to take it easy for 2-3 weeks after that. The other procedure requires 1-3 nights in hospital, then similar recuperation thereafter

Duchy of Cornwall does not belong to the royal family although they get all its profits.

Why has this thread turned into guess the operation?
