Surgery is never fun, but at least Kate Middleton is recovering in the London Clinic, which has a long history of treating V.I.P. patients such as the royal family, John F. Kennedy, and Elizabeth Taylor, per the Daily Mail. However, the hospital also treats normal citizens — at least the ones who can afford it. As Hello! reported, Middleton will probably have a very upscale experience. Middleton will also be able to utilize the hospital’s patient concierge service, which helps patients plan their post-hospital festivities. That said, Middleton already has a private staff on call, so the service may actually be a bit redundant.
King Charles’ exact hospital hasn’t been made public — possibly due to security concerns. However, the Daily Mail has reported that his hospital stay will likely amount to an overnight visit. Charles also reportedly received his enlarged prostate diagnosis at Balmoral shortly before Buckingham Palace announced the news. Unfortunately, Charles’ immediate engagements — including a visit to Dumfries House in Ayrshire — have been canceled for the time being.
Let’s hope the senior royals experience a seamless recovery!
