Known for his staunch commitment to safeguarding his family's privacy, it's understandable that Prince William would be displeased by the speculation surrounding his wife's health condition.
The Princess of Wales remains the subject of conjecture regarding her undisclosed illness, which led to her recent surgery at the London Clinic in Marylebone.
While Kensington Palace refrained from disclosing specifics about the abdominal surgery, they offered reassurance that Kate, a mother of three, is currently in the recuperation phase.
Speculation has been rife regarding the nature of the health scare prompting the surgery. Some have speculated about a hysterectomy, given Kate's documented challenges with pregnancy and alleged desire for a fourth child.
Others have suggested the possibility of a tummy tuck, although this seems less plausible given Kate's already ideal physique.
However, what particularly irks Prince William is the assumption that his wife may be grappling with an eating disorder, akin to his late mother, Princess Diana.
The former Duchess of Cambridge has occasionally been the subject of speculation regarding her weight, with some attributing her slender figure to potential eating disorders.
A source speaking to In Touch revealed, "William gets angry when people say Kate has an eating disorder. Of course, it worries him that people think that, but it’s also a sensitive topic given what his mother went through."
Despite the challenges posed by public speculation, Prince William's foremost priority remains efficiently balancing his time between caring for his wife, who remains in the hospital, and attending to their children.
