CONVALESCING IN WINDSOR IN PRIVACY AND PEACE THE PRINCESS OF WALES RECOVERS FROM SURGERY AT HOME, HELPED BY LOVED ONES AND HER TRUSTED TEAM

As she looks forward to spending half-term with her three children, the Princess of Wales will be breathing a sigh of relief.

After a fortnight in hospital following abdominal surgery, she is finally surrounded by her loved ones and “making good progress” as she continues her extended recovery. “She’s relieved to be home,” a friend tells HELLO!.

With Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, eight, and five-year-old Prince Louis all at school during the first few weeks of her convalescence, she has been able to rest and recuperate at Adelaide Cottage, the family’s four-bedroom home on the King’s Windsor estate.

Her husband the Prince of Wales has been by her side throughout, while also shouldering the responsibility of school runs and carrying out the more physical aspects of parenting.

IN SAFE HANDS

It’s an idyllic spot in which Kate can focus on her health in privacy, and although the royal couple have no live-in staff, they are well supported by their team.

This includes their loyal and long-serving personal assistant Natasha Archer – seen driving away from The London Clinic after the Princess was discharged last month – and María Turrión, the Norland nanny who has worked for the family for the past decade.
