While Middleton’s “planned” abdominal procedure was not revealed until it had already taken place, the head of the British monarchy felt the need to warn people not to jump to conclusions about her hospitalization.
“It was sensible to be more open about it, otherwise people might have thought the worst,” said a palace expert. he told the people Thursday.
Buckingham Palace announced on Jan. 17, a day after Middleton’s “successful” surgery, that His Royal Highness, 75, had “seeked treatment for an enlarged prostate” and would undergo surgery the following week.
