Kate Middleton's Recovery: Royal Family's Decision on Children's Hospital Visit

Kate Middleton's children did not visit her in the hospital during her nearly two-week stay following abdominal surgery, as Prince William and Middleton wanted to maintain a sense of normalcy and shield their children from worry. The young royals are believed to have FaceTimed their mom while she was away, and Prince William has reportedly temporarily stepped back from his royal duties to care for his wife. Middleton's closest aides and even her children were kept in the dark about her procedure, as the couple aimed to protect her privacy. Middleton is expected to be in recovery for nearly three months.
