The timing of the announcement of Kate Middleton's abdominal surgery and of King Charles III's prostate diagnosis was done to deflect attention from the princess and protect her privacy, according to a historian.
On Tuesday last week, Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales had a successful planned abdominal surgery at The London Clinic and is expected to stay there for 14 days for her recovery. Then on Wednesday, Buckingham Palace shared the monarch's enlarged prostate diagnosis and his scheduled "corrective procedure" later this week.
