Buckingham Palace Left Blindsided By Kate Middleton’s Surgery News

There’s heavy speculation on social media that suggests Buckingham Palace has left blindsided by the news that Kate Middleton had undergone surgery and was in the hospital.

That’s because it’s very rare that the royal family would make two major announcements in one day, yet that’s exactly what happened when only an hour later it was announced that King Charles would be going to the hospital, too. Here’s what you need to know.

Buckingham Palace Left Blindsided By Kate Middleton’s Surgery News

The Princess of Wales had reportedly undergone abdominal surgery while the King of England will be getting treatment for his large prostate. This has left fans every reason to be worried.

Of course, many royal fans and critics sure did have a lot to say about the matter on social media.

Some have even commented with, “It’s a lot to announce two surgeries in 1h, makes them look fragile and unorganized. I feel like Charles went in for his annual checkup in early January like most people, found out he had a prostate problem, and told KP early this morning,” while also adding, “and that forced KP to reveal Kate was hospitalized.

What BP has said about Charles seems so normal for men his age who do a checkup early in the year, but the KP one is really weird.”

Another critic wrote, “They are also saying he had to cancel a few engagements which would be noticed for him, not so much for Kate. The differences in how each palace handled something similar is pretty amazing. With Charles there are answers and explanations. With Kate, it is more vagary and speculation.”

And then there was this comment as well: “The facts that we have this announcement about him and Kate with hours of each other reeks of one office not really talking to the other – Chucks absence would be noticed but Kate’s not to much. Its probably just a really strange coincidence but with this lot.”

It goes without saying that so far Buckingham Palace has not made any additional comments about the matter.
