The Princess of Wales’ Children Didn’t Visit Her during Her Two-Week Post-surgery Hospital Stay

While Princess Catherine was recovering from her operation at The London Clinic, her kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—did not come to see her. However, according to a news outlet that mentioned Kensington Palace’s hospitalization statement, this was intentional.

In the official announcement from Kensington Palace, the message mentioned that the Princess of Wales wanted to maintain as much normalcy for her children as possible. However, the doting mom kept in contact with them via FaceTime.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward said that she feels that Princess Catherine didn’t want “to make more of a big thing of it than it already was.” Ingrid then stated that following the Princess’ discharge from the hospital, her children will be “rallying ’round in their own way and helping to look after her.”

Another reported reason for Prince George and his siblings’ absence is that The London Clinic does not generally allow the visitation of children unless with authorization from the hospital. This is done to ensure the safety of patients.

Reports state that Princess Catherine is continuing her recuperation at Adelaide Cottage, a private residence close to Windsor Castle owned by the royal family. Such has also been confirmed by another official statement from Kensington Palace, which stipulated that the Princess is recovering at Windsor, where she has been reunited with her beloved kids.
