The decision of Princess Kate to maintain privacy regarding her medical issues has garnered support from a royal expert amid discussions about her recent abdominal surgery.
After undergoing planned abdominal surgery at The London Clinic on January 16, the Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery.
Royal commentator Michael Cole defended Princess Kate's choice to keep her medical matters private during a discussion on GB News, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
Cole emphasized, "They don’t keep you in the hospital that long for a minor complaint. The press office of Kensington Palace has issued no further information as to the real cause for the surgery."
He further stated, "That’s right and proper. She’s entitled to her privacy. She has a role as a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. Like any woman, she’s entitled to keep private medical information to herself."
This defense comes in response to criticism from another royal expert, Daniela Elser, who previously suggested that Princess Kate missed an opportunity to raise awareness about her medical condition similar to King Charles.
Elser, in her article for news.com.au, expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of Princess Kate's hospital stay, but Cole's perspective underscores the importance of respecting individuals' rights to privacy concerning personal health matters.
