“I think that there’s no reason why she should she feel bullied into giving more details,” Eden said. “If she wants to, at a later point, fine, that’s up to her. But, she shouldn’t feel that she has to.”
Eden continued speaking about the comments from the public, saying, “It’s been ‘She should give more details,’ and ‘Why doesn’t she?’”
“And there’s been more pressure, there’s even been letters written to The Times newspaper, saying it would be a great example to other women if she was to be more open about her medical problems and this sort of thing.”
Kate Middleton made ‘big mistake’ by not disclosing her medical condition, expert says
“No one who is not in the Middleton family chat knows exactly what is troubling the mother-of-three and I can’t help but think that the princess has wasted an enormous opportunity here. Kate could possibly have made a huge difference this month and she has chosen not to.”
Further, the royal expert continued by saying that although Kate “is still human” and “entitled to privacy,” she could have calmed the public by announcing what was wrong with her.
Since Kate Middleton left The London Clinic on January 29, she has recovered at Adelaide cottage. Prince William has returned to royal duty after taking a short break during Kate’s two-week stay at the hospital.
While simultaneously juggling his responsibilities as a father-of-three and future king, William is significantly helped by the family nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, and Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
There have been few updates about Kate’s recovery. However, on Wednesday, February 6, about a week after she had returned home, Prince William broke the silence as he attended London’s Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner.
Prince William gives update on Kate’s recovery
There, Kate’s husband held a speech and thanked everyone for their kind wishes regarding both his wife as well as his father, King Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer on Monday.
“Good evening everyone. Thank you all for being here. And thank you to those whose hard work has made this evening possible. I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you, also, for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. It means a great deal to us all,” William said.
He added, “It’s fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather medical focus. So I thought I’d come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all.”
Early the same day, Prince William held an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, handing out more than 50 honors.
One of the people receiving an MBE was Patricia Sprouse. Later, she took to LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network online, to share the news of the fantastic honor.
However, she also disclosed a new detail about Princess Kate’s recovery. And it turns out that she has quite the help at home.
“What an amazing experience, the castle was just breathtaking, everyone was so lovely to us as we were just in awe of everything,” Sprouse wrote on LinkedIn. “Prince William said that Catherine had two Filipino nurses looking after her and they were amazing and kind.”
Royal expert states Kate’s surgery was “major”
Only time will tell if Princess Kate is back on royal duty right after Easter. However, shortly after the surgery, abdominal surgery expert Shashank Gurjar claimed that the recovery could take up to nine months, depending on several factors.
Meanwhile, even though we don’t have any details on what the surgery was about, royal expert Michael Cole now states that we can be sure it is a serious matter.
Speaking to GB News, Cole said that it probably would be a long time before we see her in action again, claiming it was a “major” surgery.
Cole told GB News that the princess should not be following suit as her operation was “obviously major.”
“Other members of the Royal Family, like Prince William, will have to step up and do more”, he said.
“Of course, that’s complicated because at the same time, his wife, the Princess of Wales, is suffering also with an undisclosed form of illness. Without any doubt, the surgery she underwent at the London Clinic was no minor matter.”
He continued, “She was in there for 13 nights, 14 days, and we don’t know what’s wrong, but it’s obviously major.”
Moreover, Michael Cole was questioned about how Kate’s surgery – as well as King Charles’ cancer diagnosis – has affected the royal family as a whole. According to him, “everything has changed”.
