“She is making good progress,” Kensington Palace said, and the Prince and Prince of Wales apparently felt a deep need to thank all of the hospital staff, with nurses in particular being singled out.
Kate's gratitude for the numerous well wishes that she has received from all over the world also goes unmentioned.
Princess Kate wants to take a step back until Easter and not attend any appointments, Kensington Palace announced.
Prince William therefore had the foresight to cancel his engagements, especially since King Charles also has to recover from his prostate operation.

Around 90 minutes after Princess Kate's surgery news, a statement from Buckingham Palace was released.
It informed the public that King Charles III.
needs treatment for an enlarged prostate.
“He will be hospitalized next week for corrective surgery,” the statement said.
And even though Kensington Palace has now confirmed, according to
The Mirror
, that Kate is not suffering from cancer, no other details about her health have been leaked so far - thanks to a royal diversionary tactic?
“By passing on personal information, Charles' message made it clear that there are no real details about Kate's condition,” analyzes historian and royal expert Tessa Dunlop (50) in an interview with
The Mirror
.
King Charles stands protectively in front of daughter-in-law Kate
"The protective king might as well have said, 'Here you have some information about me, but keep your prying eyes away from my daughter-in-law.'
When you read the statements side by side, it is a strong example of well-coordinated PR,” said Tessa Dunlop.
It was easier for King Charles, as a kind of “father of the nation,” to make these details public.
He also gave “the public something to think about”.
“But for Kate, a woman in the prime of her life whose identity has long been tied to her can-do attitude and impressive body, abdominal surgery is a different matter,” Dunlop says.
In Prince William (41), Princess Kate has a strong shoulder to lean on after the operation during this difficult time - he also canceled all appointments until Easter.
