Since the palace confirmed Kate Middleton’s surgery, many have been caught in a mundane routine, engaging in activities like cooking and spreading rumors about the reason for her operation, especially with King Charles III sharing details about his health. The period post-surgery has seen a surge in conspiracy theories about Kate, some of which have irked Prince William. These theories scrutinize everything from her recent public appearances to the Royal Family’s reluctance to disclose more about her health. One prevailing theory suggests that Kate’s surgery was related to Crohn’s disease.
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel condition that causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, weight loss, malnutrition, and fatigue. It can be a debilitating condition with potentially life-threatening complications. The speculation about Kate having Crohn’s is based on several factors: her complete withdrawal from public appearances, Prince William’s temporary break from royal duties to support her, the seriousness of her surgery (hospitalized for two weeks), and her return to royal duties after Easter (consistent with Crohn’s surgery recovery).
Surgery is a common treatment for Crohn’s, involving the removal of the damaged part of the digestive tract and reconnecting the healthy portions. Speculation about Kate’s surgery being related to Crohn’s has intensified since she revealed her cancer diagnosis post-surgery. Her surgery, initially for a non-cancerous condition, was followed by the discovery of cancer. Although she hasn’t disclosed the specific type, given the timing and nature of her diagnosis, it is likely stomach or colorectal cancer, especially considering the increased risk of colon cancer in those with Crohn’s disease.
This news sheds light on the reason for Kate’s extended recovery from a surgery initially deemed non-threatening. Following her diagnosis, she began preventative chemotherapy and is currently in the early stages of treatment, focused on making a full recovery. Kate’s situation also underscores the ongoing conspiracy theories surrounding her absence and her marriage to Prince William, highlighting the challenges faced by the monarchy.
