In an announcement on social media, Kensington Palace said in a statement: "Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery," it began.

She is expected to remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, after which she is expected to need to recuperate at home in Windsor for two or up to three months.

According to the statement, the Princess said she will prioritize maintaining her children's normal life, adding she is aware this will generate interest.

Her diary is a big deal, and the statement indicated that there is no intention to provide further information or updates unless there is significant new information to share.

"Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness' progress when there is significant new information to share."
