Recovery Amidst the Royal Family
Prince Edward's decision to step back from his responsibilities coincides with the recovery periods of both King Charles III and Princess Kate Middleton. Following a planned abdominal procedure at The London Clinic, Princess Kate, 42, is expected to remain in the hospital for ten to fourteen days before resuming her public engagements after Easter. Meanwhile, Prince William has canceled his overseas appearances to stand by his wife during this crucial phase of her recovery.
