Kate Middleton is back home after 13 days in hospital following surgery
Kate Middleton has finally returned home to Windsor Palace after spending 13 days in hospital.
Kensington Palace confirmed that the Princess of Wales will be continuing the recovery from the ‘successful’ abdominal surgery at home.
She was admitted to the prestigious London Clinic on January 16, where she was expected to remain for 10 to 14 days.
‘The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress,’ a Palace spokesperson said.
‘The prince and princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided.
‘The Wales family continues to be grateful for the well wishes they have received from around the world.’
The future Queen will now spend several more weeks resting at home where she will continue to be monitored.
Based on current medical advice it is unlikely that she will return to public duties until after Easter.
The Palace did not reveal what she was treated for but said that the condition was non-cancerous.
Her return will provide much relief to the Royal Family amid the double health scare members faced.
After visiting his daughter-in-law at hospital, King Charles himself underwent an operation for an enlarged prostate.
His Majesty will not carry out any royal duties for up to one month during his recovery.
