How is Kate Middleton ? How serious is the condition of the Princess of Wales ? These are the concerns that have been bouncing around in the English press in the last few hours , where the first hypotheses are beginning to emerge regarding the reasons behind the operation to which the wife of the heir to the throne William was subjected and which will keep her away from public commitments at least until after Easter.
A very long convalescence, and a hospitalization "of 10-14 days" which suggests, despite the reassurances from Kensington Palace that it is not a tumor, that it is still something serious. And confirmation also comes from the BBC.
Operations such as appendectomy, hernias and gallbladders - underlines the British press - are now even carried out in day hospital, and therefore the prolonged stay in the rooms of the exclusive London Clinic in London suggests something very different for the princess. With the hypothesis that has been bouncing around in the last few hours which is that of hysterectomy , a surgical technique that involves the removal of the uterus.
What is certain is that although Kensington Palace spoke of a planned intervention, William and Kate's diaries until the announcement of the operation were full of confirmed commitments for the coming months . And the diffusion, just a short distance after the announcement about Kate, of the note about the problems and the next intervention of King Charles suggests an attempt to distract public opinion .
The new medical bulletins, as specified, will only arrive in the presence of "significant information".
But in the meantime the English people are asking themselves questions, and the media are crowding outside the health facility inaugurated in 1932 and where in the past Prince Consort Philip, Princess Margaret (sister of Elizabeth II, who underwent surgery there for a first tumor which turned out to be benign) were admitted. ), but also Elizabeth Taylor (for orthopedic knee surgery), the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet or - in his youth - the future American president John F. Kennedy. Structure in which Queen Elizabeth herself inaugurated a modern oncology department in 2010, housed in a new wing costing 80 million pounds. And where prime ministers of the Kingdom such as Clement Attlee or Anthony Eden were treated for cancer or suspected cancer.
