King Charles ‘very worried’ about Princess Kate following abdominal surgery

King Charles reportedly expressed deep concern for the Princess of Wales following her abdominal surgery on January 16th, according to royal author Robert Hardman. The author, known for the Charles III biography, suggested that the King, a great admirer of Princess Kate, would likely advocate for her taking an extended break from royal duties in the coming months.

“He’s a huge fan of hers. He thinks she’s a great asset. He’ll be more worried than anyone other than Prince William about her,” Hardman shared. Despite Kate being fit and young, the expected three-month recovery period has raised concerns. However, Hardman emphasized that the King would likely prioritize Kate’s well-being, urging against pressuring her to return to duties prematurely.

While Princess Kate is anticipated to spend the next week at The London Clinic before returning home to recover, a two to three-month hiatus from royal responsibilities is anticipated. Fortunately, it has been clarified that the surgical procedure was not related to cancer. The timing of Kate’s return to her royal duties will hinge on medical advice, with expectations leaning towards a post-Easter comeback.
