Catherine, Princess of Wales, is recovering in hospital after successfully undergoing abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace said Wednesday.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, will spend up to two weeks recovering in hospital after successfully undergoing abdominal surgery. “Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery,” Kensington Palace said in a statement Wednesday. The operation was successful and Catherine – known by many as Kate – will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, it said. It is unclear what the surgery was for, but a royal source told CNN that the 42-year-old’s condition was non-cancerous. “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” it added. Once discharged, the Princess of Wales is expected to recover at home in Windsor, the royal source said.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
