The Princess of Wales has been given a four-word warning over her Royal duties after undergoing abdominal surgery.
NHS psychiatrist Dr Max Pemberton praised Kate’s decision to take time off until Easter after Kensington Palace released a statement last week revealing she had undergone the surgery. As a result, the Palace said Kate would be taking time off from duties until Easter.

Dr Pemberton described the move as “incredibly sensible”, detailing the seriousness of abdominal surgeries saying she “must not rush back”. “We don’t know what’s wrong or why she needed the operation,” the psychiatrist said, writing in the Daily Mail.
“But Kate has always struck me as quite down-to-earth, level-headed and stoical, so I’m sure she wouldn’t have heeded medical advice and taken that much time off unless really necessary.” Giving examples of how serious such surgery can be, he added: “Of course, there’s always someone who will tell you how they had a hysterectomy in their lunch break, or their appendix removed while on the school run.
“But in reality we should all be taking a leaf out of Kate’s book and convalescing properly.” Highlighting the importance of proper recovery, Dr Pemberton warned: “We need to allow ourselves time to get both physically and mentally back up to speed. So many of us are guilty of rushing back to work too quickly.” Expressing his wishes, he prayed for Kate’s quick recovery.
The mum of three, Kate, 42, was taken to hospital last week. It was announced by Kensington Palace that the Princess of Wales had “planned abdominal surgery ” earlier this week.
The London Clinic, the biggest private hospital in the UK, was opened by Queen Elizabeth’s parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, back in 1932 when they were known as the Duke and Duchess of York.
