What digestive-related surgery would possibly require that long of a hospital stay and recovery?

Colon resection can be required for a variety of reasons. Hospital stay and recovery from that surgery can be 2 weeks for a variety of reasons.

Agree that was my first thought. She could have an colo/ileostomy may be temporary or permanent depending. She could have severe diverticulitis/osis, colitis, etc. This could require an extended hospital stay, not usually 14 days or whatever they’re saying though. That’s almost unheard of with any surgery.

Nobody wants to be out hugging strangers and greeting crowds with an ostomy bag.

My friend’s husband had one for a long time and was very sensitive about the smell of it.

That is a little weird because they don't smell...

From med sites:

Your pouch may release an odor that's noticeable to others if there's a leak or if you eat foods that cause a lot of smelly gas that can't be filtered.

You will also notice smell when changing or emptying the pouch.

Yes, but in general, they don't smell or leak. They're not noticeable under clothes. It takes less than 5 minutes to change a pouch. I've had lots of patients with a stoma and a bag and it's just not that big of a deal.

My friend wears a belly band type thing to protect the site and it smooths out any lines you might see at the same time. You’d never know, and with proper care and planning, no one she meets would smell it.

It doesn't take that much care and planning. You don't smell it unless you're changing it, even when it's right in front of you.

To them it’s huge. I’m sure it’s hard to feel sexy or want to have your partner see it.

I agree that it's nbd to the medical professional or someone else -- it's a BFD to the person with it.

Yeah. Think it would destroy dating life and even marital relations- it’d be tough.

There’s nothing to tuck. What tummy tuck would she need?

If she wanted privacy, she shouldn’t have married into the family of tabloid royals. This is precisely what she wanted, strangers being distracted from their real problems and issues while zoning in on her irrelevant comings and goings.

She was 19 when she fell in love.

Fell in love? She fell into money and her mother had to talk sense into her to go after the big fish. She blew off William at first

True. That's another possibility but who knows, people say the same about Diana and Meghan as well.

As a reader, I like my romance novel characters to marry for love but either this story of Windsors/Mountbatten is indeed ridden with gold diggers or us readers are too jaded and skeptical. Anyways, its an entertaining drama and as they colonized most of us, we already have tickets.

There’s way more to a successful royal marriage than just love. Kate is in it for the long haul.

Is it really anyone's business what is going on inside one's body just because they are a royal?

I am thankful I wasn't famous when I had colon cancer as a 41 yo with 2 girls at home. I disclosed when I was ready to and on my own terms. I am very outspoken about it at this point, 5 years on (yes, I posted earlier)

If she's sick, she's sick. Let her be.

Agree. It is like people on the internet forget that celebrities are real humans. With medical problems, kids, fears, etc.

He does not look happy but that could be because he hates the press and is sick of them intruding on every development in his life.

It would be awful.

(Plus if he was smiling people would write how weird it is that he seems happy go lucky while his wife is hospitalized. He might be trying for a neutral expression while being photographed)
