Prince William Will Postpone Royal Duties, Including Two Planned International Trips, to Support Princess Kate During Health Issue

Prince William.

In addition to both the Princess of Wales and the King undergoing medical procedures and, as such, pausing royal duties, the Prince of Wales, too, will be pausing work to help care for his wife, People reports.

Kensington Palace announced today that Kate was “admitted to hospital yesterday [Tuesday, January 16] for planned abdominal surgery.” The Palace added that “The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, before returning home to continue her recovery.” Kate is not expected to return to work until April at the earliest. The statement added that Kate apologized for having to postpone upcoming engagements and that “She looks forward to reinstating as many [engagements] as possible, as soon as possible.”
