Kate Middleton had a planned surgery recently, and Kensington Palace shared the surprising health update

Currently in recovery, the Princess of Wales expressed her hope that the public would understand her desire to maintain normality for her children and keep her medical information private.

As news about Princess Kate's health surfaced, royal enthusiasts flooded social media with love. She is expected to stay in the hospital for up to two weeks.

However, some keen observers noted a detail in the statement that raised concerns about her real health condition.

The statement mentioned her apology for postponing upcoming engagements and her eagerness to reinstate them as soon as possible. This sparked speculation among royal watchers about the seriousness of the situation, given that the surgery was described as planned.

One user tweeted, "Wait, it was planned, but engagements need to be postponed? That doesn’t make sense."

Another said, "It said planned surgery, but she canceled engagements, so it cannot have been planned. Maybe it is gallbladder or appendicitis??"

There was even speculation that it might be a tactic to keep the press away. "It’s to keep the press away; she will be out before then, but nobody will be looking."

While acknowledging the ongoing speculation, one user emphasized, "Although it seems a long time speculating her illness, we have to remember she just isn’t anybody. They’re probably taking more precautions being Catherine, Princess of Wales."

The mystery surrounding Kate Middleton's health prompts questions about whether this was a strategy to shield her from the press or if her condition is more serious than publicly revealed.
