Kate, the Princess of Wales, is recovering after undergoing abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace confirmed Wednesday.
Kate, who turned 42 last week, was admitted Tuesday to The London Clinic for a “planned” surgery, according to the palace.
The palace did not provide further details on the type of surgery Kate underwent but confirmed to ABC News that the princess’s medical issue is non-cancerous.
The surgery was “successful,” according to the palace, but Kate, the wife of Prince William and mom of their three young kids, is expected to remain hospitalized for 10 to 14 days before returning to the family’s home to recover.
The palace noted that Kate’s hospitalization means she is not likely to resume her public duties “until after Easter.”
