The British royal family was shocked to learn of grave health concerns in the beginning of 2024. On January 17, 2024, Buckingham Palace declared that King Charles III would be admitted to the hospital the following week to receive treatment for an enlarged prostate. Charles was described as feeling “fine” and “looking forward to getting back to work” by his wife, Queen Camilla, the following day.
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, underwent stomach surgery at the London Clinic on the same day that it was scheduled, according to a statement released by Kensington Palace the day before. It stated that the princess would stay at the hospital for a 10-to 14-day recuperation period and that the procedure had been “successful.” The statement did note, though, that Kate was not expected to return to her regular royal responsibilities until after Easter.
As word spread that the two were hospitalized, their followers all around the world showered the pair with love and support. Given that Charles and Kate are two of the most well-liked members of the royal family, this was not surprising.
On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II, the queen with the longest reign in British history, passed away, and Charles took the throne. In his capacity as king, Charles worked to maintain the public’s positive opinion of the royal family while ensuring that the institution was kept up to date by embracing modernity.
It was disclosed in February 2024 that King Charles III had received a cancer diagnosis. After that, when Kate hadn’t been spotted in public for a while, people were curious about how she was doing. Following weeks of conjecture, Kate shot down the allegations and made an emotional video appearance to reveal a devastating update on her health.
On January 26, 2024, King Charles III was admitted to the London Clinic for specialized care. After spending three nights, he was released. Later, the palace declared that all of his previous appointments would be rescheduled to give him enough time to rest and recover. After the therapy, Queen Camilla reiterated in the days that followed that Charles had been “doing his best” before the couple’s first public appearance together on February 4, 2024, at Sandringham Church. There, Charles lifted everyone’s spirits by waving reassuringly at the assembly. This comfort was short-lived, however, as the following day Buckingham Palace revealed heartbreaking news.
It stated that “diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer” during Charles’ prostate treatment, emphasizing that it was not prostate cancer. The monarch had “commenced a schedule of regular treatments,” according to the statement, and his doctors had advised delaying his public engagements. The 75-year-old monarch would, meanwhile, “continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual,” the statement continued.
Kensington Palace, meanwhile, emphasized at the time that Kate Middleton’s health problem was unrelated to cancer but did not specify what ailment she was dealing with. As the media kicked things into high gear, the public was eager to express their best wishes for a swift recovery, with allegations that the princess had fallen into a coma being categorically denied as “total nonsense.” Hundreds of photographers were dispatched to the London Clinic to try to get pictures of the princess before she left. They were, however, ineffective because it was later revealed that Kate had fled the hospital without anyone noticing.
A further statement from the palace was made twelve days later, on January 29, 2024, stating that Kate had returned to her home at Windsor Castle to finish her recovery from the surgery and that she was “making good progress.”

Kate moved into Adelaide Cottage in Home Park, Windsor, after leaving the hospital. She rested well there surrounded by family and supported by their devoted employees, which included long-term nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo. According to a Sunday Times source, Prince William took the lead in raising their three children, putting “100% family first, day job second.”
It is typically anticipated that patients recovering from abdominal surgery may need to wait two to three months before being able to move around comfortably, according to the National Health Service (NHS). Additionally, they have to refrain from lifting anything heavier than two or three kilograms, or 4.4 to 6.6 pounds. Exercises that involve standing and sitting are advised to aid in rebuilding the core. For a complete recovery, the abdominal area may not regain its previous strength for up to two years.
Although Kate’s return to her royal duties will undoubtedly depend on the recommendation of her doctors, several experts predicted that her recuperation would take longer than anticipated—up to nine months, in fact. As one insider with knowledge of the royal household told People, others praised the princess for taking the time she required to rest and recover:
It seems sense to take your time. You are frequently advised to return to work as quickly as possible, which might be detrimental, so that sets a fantastic example for the rest of us. It is in everyone’s best interests to see her take her time, heal fully, and then return. From that, all of us can learn.
Others, however, took solace in the knowledge that William had already partially resumed his royal duties by showing up at a London Air Ambulance event on February 7, 2024. There, he made his first public remarks regarding the health challenges his family has been facing lately. He praised the crowd, saying it “means a great deal to us all,” and expressed gratitude for “the kind messages and support for Catherine and for my father.”
