Kate Middleton warned about recovering at home – reason why “it’s not an ideal” place revealed

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, have lived at Adelaide Cottage since August 2022. But George, Charlotte, and Louis have been at home without their mother for the last two weeks.

Kate has undergone her planned abdominal surgery, which left royal fans in shock when first announced. Luckily, the surgery went well, and the Princess of Wales has returned to Adelaide Cottage.

But should she really recover at home? According to a royal expert, Kate should think twice before returning home – and issues a warning.

On January 17, Kensington Palace released the statement that Kate Middleton was to undergo abdominal surgery. The palace said it was planned, and all her royal duties were put on hold.

Kate Middleton leaves hospital after surgery – reunites with children at Windsor

For the last two weeks, the Princess of Wales has stayed at The London Clinic, where doctors have kept a close eye on her, ensuring there wasn’t a setback with the surgery.

Prince William is said to have visited his wife every day. However, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis reportedly didn’t see her at all, since they had school and other activities. Though, they have reportedly kept in contact with their mother through Facetime.

On Monday, January 29, Kensington Palace shared the enjoyable news that Kate Middleton would finally leave The London Clinic and reunite with her husband and children at their Windsor home. The princess is said to be doing great and will continue to recover at home and won’t return to royal duty until after Easter.

“The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress,” Kensington Palace said in a statement Monday.

“The Prince and Princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided,” the palace said in a statement shared with HuffPost. “The Wales family continues to be grateful for the well wishes they have received from around the world.”

When Kate Middleton gets home to Windsor, her family will support her a little extra throughout her recovery.

“Tigh-knit family” will care for Kate

Her parents, Michael and Carole, and her siblings, Pippa Matthews (née Middleton) and James, will help her in any way they can. Since they don’t live far away, her parents will certainly be able to help with their children, who have had sleepovers several times at their grandparents’ house in Berkshire.

But while William has visited his wife several times while at the hospital, neither Michael nor Carol (nor Kate’s siblings for that matter) were seen entering the hospital.

However, that didn’t mean they weren’t there. According to royal expert Sarah Hewson, Carole and Michael Midleton were, in fact, there.

“We haven’t seen them, but we saw William on the first day and then we didn’t see him again,” she said. “Now, there are multiple entrances where they are able to slip in and out but we do know Carole and Michael Middleton were on hand particularly to help out with the children where William is, perhaps, visiting his wife.”

“They’d be doing a drop-off or pick-up [at school],” she added.

The royal expert continued, describing the Mdidletons as a “tight-knit family.”

“..and they and close friends have been rallying round and will continue to do so because it’s going to be a long time before Kate is really back up on her feet. [It’s] major surgery that she’s been through and, you know, we’re not going to see her out on royal duties until April – so, more than two months,” she concluded.
