A close friend of Kate’s has said that she will be spending the half-term break with her family at the royal estate of Sandringham. This is new information about her health.

One of Catherine’s friends told the Daily Mail, “Catherine is recovering well.”

The woman was excited for a change of scenery. In Norfolk, she will be able to relax while the kids have fun with William.

Since the sudden news that Kate would be having surgery on her abdomen, a lot more has been said about her health. Only a few specifics about her condition have been released, and the royal family has remained characteristically silent.

In fact, the only thing we know for sure is that Kate had to stay in the hospital for 13 days after her surgery. Even though Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis did not get to meet their mother in person, Prince William was by her side as much as possible during this time.

It was said by Spanish sources that Kate had been put into a coma because of problems with her recovery from surgery. This made people even more worried. Those claims were quickly shot down by Kensington Palace, but it’s still not clear what exactly Kate was suffering from that needed surgery.

In any case, the news that the Princess of Wales is now healthy enough to go between Windsor and Sandringham will be a relief to royal fans who have been following Kate’s recovery very closely.

Also, the Daily Mail says that King Charles is at Sandringham too. He just got his first cancer treatment earlier this week.

Both the king and his daughter-in-law were in the hospital around the same time for treatment of an enlarged prostate. In a later statement, the Palace did confirm that doctors had found a type of cancer. They didn’t say what kind of cancer Charles has or what stage he’s in, but they said it wasn’t prostate cancer.

Let’s wish Kate Middleton and King Charles the best as they move forward.
