While Kensington Palace has remained mum on the details of Kate Middleton’s abdominal procedure, Nicki Swift writer and Ireland resident Joey Keogh has shared her theory on which surgery Kate underwent. “I imagine it’s probably a hysterectomy because her pregnancies were so tough,” she explains. “Like me, Kate suffered with HG (extreme nausea) so I totally empathize with her struggle. Personally, I don’t plan to ever be pregnant again because I found it so challenging and often downright miserable.”
Like her fellow writer Jennifer Still, Joey expresses the importance of Middleton having privacy. She also has grievances with some headlines claiming that Prince William has become overworked in light of Middleton’s absence. “Kate is someone who has always strived to be perfect, and this has put her under the spotlight in a harsh way,” she adds.
While Joey sympathizes with Middleton, she does have a theory about why the royal has been hit with such outrageous conspiracy theories and criticisms. “It isn’t necessarily fair, but even with the public attention, she’s still recuperating in considerably more comfort than most women around the world,” Joey says. “So it’s entirely possible that’s where the backlash and conspiracy theories are coming from, whether that’s morally acceptable or not.”
Middleton is no stranger to being called out for her privileged background. In November 2023, the Princess of Wales was slammed for supposedly wearing a £300 blouse while asking for donations to Children in Need, per The New York Post.
