Two pieces of news that initially sent the British press into a tailspin, but which a few days later take on a different meaning. They must be read, first of all, from a non-casual perspective.

Kate Middleton's health problems “are really worrying”
According to royal expert Angela Levin, it is “strange and worrying” that the future queen, after abdominal surgery, will remain in hospital “for a good two weeks and will not reappear in public before Easter”

According to the expert, Carlo would have wanted it «protect Kate» from the inevitable curiosity unleashed after the announcement of the abdominal operation revealing the details of his hospitalization. «It is very unusual for the royal family to disclose private health matters. In this respect, the information shared about the King's enlarged prostate was unprecedented and astute,” Dunlop said. “The statement containing private matters about the King's health soon after news of the King's major abdominal surgery Princess of Wales was deliberate. Likewise, her timing deviated from her daughter-in-law's major operation. The private details regarding her prostate have given the public something else to think about (the NHS website has seen an increase in traffic on the topic).” However, there is also something else at play. «Charles' statement served to highlight the absence of any real details regarding Kate's condition. The protective king may also have said: “Here's some information about me, but keep your prying eyes away from my daughter-in-law”».
