The royal family might be hiding the real truth behind Kate’s recent surprise surgery. The official reports make it sound like the surgery was not a big deal.
But something about the whole thing just seems off. They’re saying the surgery was planned… but is that really the case?Why does Kate need so much time off to recover? And what could be the real reason she needed surgery?
When the official Instagram account of William and Kate announced that Kate underwent a planned surgery, the news came as a surprise.
They only announced it the day after the surgery was already done. So, at the same time, they were also able to say that the surgery was successful and that Kate is doing fine, which is obviously good to hear. But something about the whole story just doesn’t entirely make sense…
Why Was Kate Middleton Hospitalized?
First of all, the announcement said that the surgery was planned and not an unforeseen emergency one, which is one of the details that seems a little off, because nobody actually knew about it in advance.
Obviously, Kate might not want to announce that she’s about to head into surgery soon to the public. That could lead to all sorts of complications. Some people might try to show up at the hospital to see her, which is something the royal family has to be used to, as it happens all the time to them.
But at the hospital before Kate’s surgery is just about the most terrible time to deal with self-invited fans. And on top of that, it’s just much better to announce the surgery after the fact since they can also say how it went.

A lot of people might feel worried about their favorite princess if they know she’s going into surgery, and this way, these people just immediately learned that everything went well and could remain calm and collected.
Plus, the royal family isn’t exactly known for sharing all their private events immediately, so it makes perfect sense that the public only learned about it after the fact. But the thing is, according to insider reports, it wasn’t just the public: Apparently, not even William and Kate’s close circle of friends knew anything about the surgery. Why?
I can only think of two possible explanations. One is that the reason for the surgery is something very private that Kate doesn’t talk with her friends about. But it’s the other explanation that seems especially interesting to me, which is that maybe the surgery wasn’t anywhere near as planned as the royal family wants us to believe.
Kate Postponed Her Royal Duties Until Easter
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not saying that they outright LIED in the announcement. I just think it’s possible they conveniently didn’t say how long in advance the surgery was planned, and it could have been a matter of just a couple of days.
The fact that it was planned doesn’t necessarily have to mean that it wasn’t an emergency. I think it’s possible that Kate was actually diagnosed with something urgent that required surgery, except the surgery didn’t have to happen immediately, so they scheduled it maybe a week in advance.
Which does technically make it a planned surgery, but would also explain why none of Kate’s friends knew about her needing surgery.
Another thing that was mentioned in the official announcement is that Kate was expected to spend 10 to 14 days in the hospital, recovering. That seems like a pretty long time… Obviously, we don’t know what exactly the surgery was. The announcement only said it was an abdominal surgery.
But that doesn’t really narrow it down much. There are a bunch of different medical issues that could require abdominal surgery, and they range from small, routine surgeries to large-scale operations.
And obviously, the announcement didn’t get specific about anything like that, but it’s easy to guess that it probably wasn’t a small, routine surgery, because something like that would not require Kate to stay in the hospital for two weeks.

The announcement also said that Kate won’t be taking part in any royal duties at least until Easter. That’s two and a half months after her surgery, which is a pretty long recovery time. It was also mentioned that these are doctor’s orders, so it’s not like the royal family and Kate herself just want to be extra careful with her health.
It just seems like the surgery was a pretty big deal. It doesn’t necessarily sound like it from the announcement. But obviously, that’s a carefully crafted piece of writing — the royal family knows how to make things seem the way they want them to.
And they definitely wouldn’t want people to see Kate’s surgery as a big deal – not if she’s going to be fine in the end. So the tone of the announcement doesn’t actually prove anything, and there’s another sign that points to the surgery being a bigger deal than the family lets on.
It’s the fact that not only will Kate not be working for two months, but there were actual plans for those two months that are being pushed back now. They even reportedly include at least one trip abroad. According to reports, Kate and William were supposed to go on an official state visit to Italy this Spring.
That was first reported in late December, and now that trip is being pushed back, which means that when this Italy trip was being planned, nobody knew that Kate would be recovering from surgery yet.
So either they expected the recovery time to be a lot shorter, or there was no surgery in the schedule yet. But what could be the actual reason Kate needed to have surgery?That’s the real question here — and that’s the one thing there really weren’t any specific clues about.
Apart from the fact that it was an abdominal surgery, of course. The report did say though, that Kate didn’t actually want that information out there. Through it, Kate indirectly asked people to not pry into what the reason could have been, because she just wants that information to stay private.
People Have Been Speculating that Kate Might Have an ED
Which is really understandable, honestly. She may be a princess and a public figure, but that doesn’t mean she should have no privacy — and personal health is a very private matter indeed.
But still, people online have been speculating about what it might be. One of the most popular theories is that the surgery might have something to do with an ED. And if that is a sensitive topic for you, please click off now…But basically, there have been rumors floating around for years now about how Kate might have an ED.
And now, the people who believe that are speculating that the surgery might have had something to do with it. But I personally see several problems with that. First of all, surgery wouldn’t solve an ED, as that’s largely a mental health issue.
And if it’s not addressed properly, it will most likely stick around even after you’ve attempted to solve it with surgery. Obviously, the surgery could actually have been for a complication connected to an ED, just like it could have been for any other reason that we know nothing about.

But that’s just a pretty wild amount of speculation to be doing, because you first have to assume that Kate has an ED. And the thing is, speculating about whether someone might have an ED just isn’t the best thing to do. For one, it’s something that’s always going to be a deeply personal and painful thing to the person — if they do indeed have an ED.
So it’s better to leave that topic alone just for that reason. But also, speculations like that always seem to be connected to people’s body shape. Even with Kate, the main reason people are speculating this is because she’s quite thin, but the reality is that anyone with any body shape can struggle with an ED.
Kate’s body shape doesn’t actually make her much more likely to have an ED than anyone else would be, so, all the speculations are really doing is commenting on Kate’s body, which is one step away from just directly body-shaming her — and that’s never a good thing to do, period.
