The Princess of Wales has had abdominal surgery and will not return to royal duties until after Easter, Kensington Palace has announced.
Seperately Buckingham Palace announced that the King is being treated for an enlarged prostate.
The Princess was admitted to The London Clinic on Tuesday and the planned surgery was successful.
Kensington Palace said she would remain in hospital for up to two weeks and is unlikely to return to work for at least another two months.
Royal sources said the Prince of Wales planned to combine being by both his wife and their children’s sides throughout the recovery process.
He will also, therefore, postpone a number of engagements as he supports his family and will not undertake official duties while the Princess is in hospital, or during the immediate period following her return home to Windsor.
It is thought that two short overseas tours, planned for the coming weeks, have been postponed.
The palace has declined to provide further information about the Princess’s condition.
