Kate Middleton admitted to clinic for 'planned abdominal surgery'
Kate Middleton , 42, was admitted to The London Clinic in Marylebone yesterday for the planned procedure and is expected to remain in hospital for ten to 14 days. It is understood not to be cancerous.
Yes, they are; but hospitals often stretch the definition of "planned procedure." That could mean anything they had a few hours' notice for. It's hard to say.
