Kate Middleton and Prince William reportedly wanted to keep the news of her surgery a secret.
Kate Middleton and Prince William had no intention of revealing the news that the princess would have surgery or be admitted to the hospital to recover.
The Prince and Princess of Wales feared the news had worried people as they were “adamant” about not revealing further details about their health problem.
Talking with In weekly contact, A royal source said: “Kate and William would have preferred to keep the surgery a secret but felt the public should know why she will be out of the spotlight for the coming months.”
“Royal fans and supporters are worried about Kate's health because there is no official medical report and her recovery is taking a long time.”

“People think the royals are being very timid,” the source said, adding, “and they are worried that something very serious is going on.”
The timing of the announcement was also an issue, as Buckingham Palace also announced the news that King Charles would be receiving treatment for his prostate on the same day.
“That both Charles and Catherine are suffering from health problems is worrying for palace officials,” the source said. “They have had to cancel engagements and are facing an avalanche of media inquiries, especially about Kate.”
“There is a feeling of panic that arises when faced with this type of bomb. “That worries people.”
