Kensington Palace has issued a rare official statement this morning, providing an update on the health and recovery of Her Royal Highness, Catherine, The Princess of Wales. The Princess underwent a planned abdominal surgery earlier this year and has since been recuperating privately.
The Palace confirmed that The Princess of Wales is “continuing to make good progress” in her recovery and is focused entirely on regaining her strength before returning to her public duties.
A Focus on Privacy and Recovery
The statement emphasized that the Princess’s recovery timeline remains on track with the initial expectations set in the winter.
“The Princess of Wales continues to appreciate the public’s kind interest and support for her recovery. She is making good progress at home and is prioritizing her health and rest, in accordance with medical advice,” the statement read. “She looks forward to returning to her duties as soon as she is able.”

The Palace reiterated its commitment to maintaining the privacy of The Princess’s health details, confirming that no further running commentary on her condition will be provided until her anticipated return to official engagements.
Anticipated Return to Public Life
While the statement offered no specific date for her return, it reaffirmed the earlier timeline, suggesting that The Princess will resume public engagements after the Easter holidays.
Royal commentators have praised the Palace for providing a clear, concise update intended to quash any further speculation or rumor that has been circulating online.
“This is a classic Palace move: brief, reassuring, and firm about maintaining privacy,” noted royal correspondent Robert Lacey. “It tells the public what they need to know—that she is doing well—and shuts down the rumor mill by reiterating the no-comment policy until she is back in action.”
The news will be a relief to royal watchers across the globe who have sent thousands of cards and messages wishing the beloved Princess a swift and full recovery.
