Catherine, the Princess of Wales, is currently in a private hospital in London recovering from “planned abdominal surgery”. Kensington Palace said that Princess Catherine would remain in hospital for up to two weeks, and then recover at home.

The abdominal surgery was apparently successful, but the Princess has requested that any further medical details remain private.

Princess Catherine has apologised for having to postpone her upcoming engagements until after Easter. Her Royal Highness said that she was looking forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible. Report by Gracex.
