Princess Kate has been reunited with her children at Adelaide Cottage, where she will recover from abdominal surgery over the coming months. The announcement from Kensington Palace on Monday stated that the Princess of Wales is “making good progress” after being discharged from The London Clinic.
The details of hospital visits, aside from those by Prince William, have been kept private. Reports suggest an agreement between the media and the royal family to refrain from taking photos or camping outside the hospital. However, questions have arisen about whether Princess Kate’s children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—visited her during her hospital stay.
Royal expert Daniela Elser finds the lack of information about the children’s visits peculiar and questions whether the royal family made the right decision. In an opinion piece, Elser highlights a crucial detail that seems to have been overlooked.
While reports initially suggested that Prince William visited Kate every day and that the children had also visited, later sources contradicted this information. Hello Magazine’s royal editor, Emily Nash, indicated that Princess Kate used FaceTime to stay in touch with her children during her hospitalization.
