'Good Progress': Kate Middleton Returns Home to Windsor After 13-Day Hospitalization, Clears Schedule Until Easter
Kate will recover behind closed doors.
Kate Middleton returned home today after a 13-day hospital stint following abdominal surgery, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The Princess of Wales, 42, was discharged from The London Clinic and returned to Windsor. Middleton cleared her schedule until Easter and will recover out of the public eye.
Prince William cleared his own schedule to tend to Kate.
“The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress,” a rep for Kensington Palace said on 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 rep added.
Middleton was reunited with her husband Prince William and their three children at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.
Insiders shared she is "thrilled" to be at home after her two-week hospital stay.
Earlier this month, Kensington Palace announced Middleton had undergone a planned surgery.
"The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery," the rep said. "Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."
