First announcement
Kensington Palace's first statement about the surgery came out on January 17, the day after Kate Middleton's procedure. “It is Princess Kate's wish that her personal medical information remain private,” the statement said.

The palace added: “The Princess of Wales appreciates the attention this statement will generate. She hopes the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality as possible for her children; and your wish for your personal medical information to remain private.
Another statement was issued later in the month when the public was informed that Kate had been discharged from the London clinic.
Where is Kate?
