Princess's uncle comments on reality show
Kate's uncle Gary Goldsmith, whose show is exclusively on the British show Celebrity Big Brother, commented that the princess was receiving “the best care in the world”. But he declined to give further details, saying there were “rules of etiquette”.
“She doesn’t want to talk about it. The last thing I would do is… There’s some sort of etiquette. If it comes out, I’ll give my opinion,” Goldsmith told actress Ekin Su Kulkologlu. “I’ve spoken to her mother and her sister, she’s getting the best care in the world.

However, when the King was photographed at home again and resumed some official engagements, the rumours turned to the princess. But William's absence from the memorial, the palace statement and Kate's uncle's comment only fuelled speculation about his health.
First announcement
Kensington Palace's first statement about the surgery came out on January 17, the day after Kate Middleton's procedure. “It is Princess Kate's wish that her personal medical information remain private,” the statement said. The memo also explained that the princess would remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days after the surgery, and would not return to public duties until Easter. She eventually left the hospital on January 29, 13 days after the procedure.
The surgery was a success, Kensington said, though the length of the hospital stay and the tone of the statement suggested his condition could be serious. Patients who undergo minor procedures are generally released home shortly afterward. In Kate’s case, in addition to the two weeks in hospital, it could take up to three months for her to fully recover.
What type of surgery did Kate Middleton have?
This remains a mystery to the public. Abdominal surgery can be triggered for reasons ranging from an appendectomy to a gastrointestinal procedure. On January 17, Kensington Palace said the surgery was a success. It did not provide details about the diagnosis or prognosis, but said it was “not cancerous.”
The palace added: “The Princess of Wales appreciates the attention this statement will generate. She hopes the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality as possible for her children; and your wish for your personal medical information to remain private.
Another statement was issued later in the month when the public was informed that Kate had been discharged from the London clinic.
Where is Kate?
At home, according to an official statement. The palace said the princess will recover at Adelaide Cottage, a country home belonging to the British Crown.
The British government announced last Tuesday that Kate will participate, on June 8, in her first official participation since undergoing surgery.
