While the two-week post-operative recovery period raised concerns among royal observers, there is optimism regarding the Princess of Wales' recovery despite the seriousness implied by the duration.
A source close to the royal household, speaking to People Magazine, acknowledged the seriousness of the situation given the length of recovery time. However, they expressed confidence in Kate's resilience, noting her excellent health and the comprehensive care and support she receives.
Kensington Palace refrained from disclosing the specifics of Catherine, Princess of Wales' condition but confirmed her hospitalization for "10 to 14 days" before she continues her recovery at home. It's unlikely for her to resume public duties until after Easter.
While the announcement initially sparked speculation about the severity of the situation, particularly considering the postponement of planned engagements, there is no indication of an unexpected health crisis. Planned visits to Rome and an overseas military base have been deferred, with international travel postponed for the foreseeable future.
