watch of Commonwealth cameras the
Princess of Wales recovering inside
after abdominal surgery that will see
her out of Royal action for months the
procedures have been successful but it
will be necessary for the princess to
cancel all engagements outside of Easter
the Royals had a full Diary in December
and with Catherine leading the FES of
cheer there was no indication she was
unwell and I wish you all a very merry
Christmas but today a statement from
Kensington Palace announced the
42-year-old will spend up to a fortnight
in hospital with Prince William taking
time off also to be by her side
obviously there has been a certain
amount of concern because this was a
surprise announcement with the children
front of mind the statement said the
princess has stressed she wants her
personal medical information to remain
private in order to maintain as much
normality as possible for the young wses
only very limited details have been
disclosed about Princess Katherine's
condition and the palace will only
provide significant updates going
forward but it is clear from the tone of
the statement as well as the length of
time she is expected to spend here in
hospital that her medical condition is
serious although it's understood not to
be cancer related within an hour and a
half of Kensington palace's announcement
news broke of the king's own health
issues most recently pictured driving to
church in Bell moral on Sunday
barkingham Palace announced the
75-year-old will also undergo surgery
next week in common with thousands of
men each year the King has sought
treatment for an enlarged prostate the
statement read the Monk's condition is
benign but it's understood he wanted to
Shear his diagnosis to encourage other
men to get checked he's probably having
a keyhole type of operation um and this
is an operation that many people do in
in high volumes and the results are very
good so I don't think we should be
unduly concerned it is rare to get two
Royal Health updates in one day and the
announcements came as a shock leaving
many waiting ready and anxious for the
next well leet is at Buckingham Palace
now okay leet with two key Royals out
who takes over their
duties yes so well well of course with
Prince William also taking time off to
care for his wife it's actually three
senior Royals who will be unavailable
off work at the same time which is
largely unprecedented we understand for
that reason that three other senior
Royals have been briefed on the fact
they will be required to step up and
take up take over some of those Royal
engagements those three are queen
Camilla the Princess Royal Princess Anne
and uh the Dutch of Edinburgh Sophie now
of course this news has caused
widespread concern around the UK but
overall there does seem to be a sense of
optimism both the king and the princess
are well known to be fit and active
members of the royal family the princess
often talking about her love of exercise
in particular swimming and with neither
of them having any health issues that we
know of in recent years there is a lot
of Hope that both will make a full and
Swift recovery okay let say thank you
