From amp.marca.com:

However, despite the planned nature of this surgery three days after the operation, the Telecinco program 'Fiesta' has given the latest update on Kate Middleton's condition. 
Specifically, it has been the journalist Concha Calleja, who has revealed how the Princess of Wales is doing, with increased concerns over her recovery.
"I have spoken to an aide at the Royal Household and they assure me that something has gone wrong in the postoperative period. The situation is so serious that that is why they have decided to send these two statements," Calleja alleged.


"The last time we saw her was at the Christmas lunch and from then on she began to feel unwell, Kate was admitted on 28 December and is in the hands of the doctors for several days.
"I believe that the Palace will issue a new communiqué in the next few days explaining better what is happening, the operation was serious in itself, lasting several hours and with a certain risk, a risk that did not occur on the operating table but in the postoperative period."

Takeaway: Never eat the figgy pudding.

The underground thing made me laugh . 😂

Maybe Kate does head stands 1/2 the day to keep her face from falling .

Gershun, I laughed out loud about the fallen face. I agree, she is a beautiful middle aged woman and we all hope to look so fallen. :-)

Maybe she's having a spa weekend. In the royal family that's probably two weeks.

It must suck always having to keep up appearances 24/7. Maybe she wants to lay around in her sweats with no make up on for a while. I know I would if I was her.

If her face has fallen then mine is underground, never to be seen again. :P

I suspect a hysterectomy. She had brutal pregnancies and I wouldn't be surprised if she had other "lady issues," too.

They aien't bust sitting in a hospital bed. The royals have a suite of rooms, so I'm sure she's recuperating in an apartment-like setting for a couple of weeks to ensure she has 24/7 care and quality rest. No doubt she'll emerge from the hospital looking fabulous.

I was in the hospital for eight days a couple of years ago for gallbladder removal surgery and pancreatitis, and I wasn't back to full speed for about four months. Kate will likely need the entire couple of months she's taking to recuperate, and good for her.

@Burnt, they did say that the king does not have cancer.

If her appendix burst, she would be hospitalized for a long while.

May The Lord touch her and be with her family during this difficult time.

No one is in the hospital for two weeks these days unless it is extremely serious. So whatever it is it is not good. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

King Charles is in the hospital for something prostate-related. Did they say not cancer for him?

By the way, the official statement didn’t say anything about “not cancer”. A source understands it’s not cancer.

Which means it could be cancer. (I hope it’s not)

The UK media airbrush Kate’s photos. If you find photos from other countries, it’s usually the un retouched ones. She’s looking very tired and haggard (probably because she’s been sick.)

There was recent comment about a 4th child arriving sometime this year. A girl, to be named Elizabeth. Learned long ago to not stop and gaze at scandal papers in racks at grocery stores - keep moving through the check-out counters. She is a beautiful lady - I wish her the best of health, for whatever may be the issue.

@ southernwaver, could you be thinking of Queen Camilla? To my knowledge, Kate doesn't smoke, and her face hasn't exactly fallen yet.

Aw, Lovinghusband, lighten up. Most of us are mired in caregiving and having a difficult time every day. It’s good to have a distraction and to show concern for people that we don’t have to be responsible for.

What did you do today? I coped with myriad dementia problems with my husband. He can’t understand why I put a wool scarf around his neck when he went outside, and now, back in the house, he doesn’t want to take it off though our thermostat is at 76 degrees. Earlier I figured out a way to have a rare private conversation that husband couldn't hear; I talked for half an hour with a care agency CEO explaining my husband’s issues, which include losing ability to speak and understand. CEO explained options in hiring the right caregiver. I washed and dried the towels that were still wet from showering my husband last night, as he no longer knows how to shower himself. I unpacked the walker that arrived today as I worried about introducing it to my husband, who has difficulty standing up by himself now. I cleaned and changed batteries in husband’s hearing aids, adjusted them with his phone app, and explained to him what they are and how to put them on (he's been wearing them for 10 years but no longer can manage them by himself). I dropped off his glasses at the optometrist’s five minutes from home for repair. I didn't take husband as I didn't think it would go well - he gets confused. I went back to get the glasses, hurry-hurry because husband shouldn't be left alone for any length of time, then spent some time explaining to husband that he should take off his old glasses and wear the repaired ones. He didn’t quite get it, but he complied. And so on, all day every day.

I posted advice on here for others (I’m caregiving my 4th family dementia patient and like to help other caregivers if I can). And I posted my concern about the Princess of Wales. It was good being in touch with my fellow posters and I enjoyed the interaction. I rarely get out and seldom have time for phone conversations with friends, who mostly don't call because they know I have too many things to do to really kick back and have a frivolous conversation.

You didn't like my post, so sue me, but I liked posting it.

I’m sorry this question bothered you .
Sometimes alittle levity is therapeutic .

You could have just skipped over it .
Often someone asks a question that is not directly related to aging care . Often it’s marital issues , or fighting with siblings, or preserving inheritance .

Again , sorry . You are obviously stressed . I hope you are taking care of yourself as well as your LO.

Technically the Princess is "aging" and this could in fact be an age related issue.

Diana was not kept in the hospital for a week with either baby. Was maybe 2 days for William and less than that for Harry.

Yes but it’s not a good idea to linger in a hospital because of hospital acquired infections etc.

especially when you live in a palace that can accommodate medical personnel.

It would be a facelift. I think she is a heavy drinker and rumored long time smoker and her face has fallen big time in the last few years.

but I don’t think that’s it since a facelift doesn’t require 14 days in hospital

Abdominal hysterectomy with a complication such as endometriosis growing into other places.

Bowel resection.

In patient mental health services where abdominal surgery is a cover.

Cosmetic surgery, though I personally don’t put much faith in this one.

Fun fact, December 28th a royal motorcade went from Sandringham to hospital at night. Video is on twitter taken by man on the street.

In my estimation wouldn't take a few days, any cosmetic cleanup, and wouldn't be done close to home. Just my guess. But like we said, we can speculate.

The princess works out and eats healthy.
I’d be thrilled to look like her . If I looked like her I wouldn’t be going under the knife .
I don’t look like her and I’m not willing to go under the knife unless medically necessary . Maybe that’s because I know all the things that can go wrong .
I’ve also seen some bad facelifts .

@burnt

I said that to my daughter and daughter in law , we were texting about it yesterday . But they both said No she’s very thin .
My daughter in law said hysterectomy is the rumor going around . My DIL has friends in London.

I saw pix of her at church around Christmas, and she looked very flat-tummied. Maybe it was Spanx.

In this instance, a nurse, a doctor, someone who writes about medical issues, or the fly on the wall.
