This month has taken an unexpectedly strange turn, with both King Charles and Kate, the Princess of Wales, admitted to the same London hospital. The royal family now faces its most significant health crisis since the infamous spoiled lobster thermidor incident.
But the strangeness doesn’t end there: why haven’t Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis visited their mother?
It’s been 12 days since the princess underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic, marking nearly two weeks since her three young children have seen her. Prince William, after announcing he would focus on parenting during this time, has been seen leaving the hospital in his $268,000 electric Audi, and reports confirm he’s been visiting Kate daily.
Yet, the absence of the children raises questions. Similarly, Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her siblings, Pippa and James Middleton, have not been publicly noted visiting her either. James, who has openly discussed his struggles with depression, has spoken about Kate’s unwavering support during his therapy sessions.
The lack of visits isn’t about avoiding the media. According to royal editor Rebecca English from the Daily Mail, an agreement ensures no photographers, camera crews, or journalists are stationed outside the hospital, offering Kate and her fellow patients complete privacy.
This means Prince William or the Middletons could bring George, Charlotte, and Louis to visit their mother without facing public scrutiny.
One explanation comes from The Sun, which reported that William and Kate want to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children. This reasoning seems reasonable during the school week, but what about weekends?
Instead of visiting Kate, the children reportedly spent their weekend at their grandparents’ $7 million Bucklebury estate, enjoying time with Carole and Michael Middleton. While a loving grandparent’s care is undoubtedly comforting, is it really a substitute for a mother’s hug?
Adelaide Cottage, the family’s home, is only a 45-minute drive from the hospital. Logistically, a visit would not pose significant challenges.
This situation becomes even more puzzling when viewed against the broader image of the Waleses as hands-on, devoted parents. William and Kate are known for prioritizing family time, even structuring their schedules around their children’s school holidays.
A royal aide recently told The Sunday Times that their new motto is “100 per cent family first, day job second.” But does that align with their children not visiting their mother during her recovery?
Yes, hospitals can be intimidating, especially for young children. But seeing their mother in person, offering hugs, and witnessing her recovery firsthand could provide far more reassurance than absence.
The argument that royals rarely visit each other in hospital doesn’t hold much weight here. These conventions are shifting, as shown by King Charles making a direct visit to Kate’s hospital room upon his arrival and Queen Camilla visiting her husband three times within 24 hours.
At a time when stability and togetherness are most needed within the royal family, things feel far from normal. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider these traditions and prioritize connection over protocol. In the meantime, some sage, crystals, and maybe even a royal shaman might not go amiss to dispel whatever strange energy seems to be lingering over Buckingham Palace.

In the most heartbreaking moments of our lives, some people can break through and truly bring some much-needed comfort.
Valerie Watts was devastated when she gave birth to a stillborn boy. It’s something no expectant mother should have to go through.
As time passed, the Cokato, Minnesota, woman eventually decided to set up a garage sale. She was ready to move forward and had mustered up the courage to get rid of the baby’s things, including his crib.
The grieving mother sold the crib to a man named Gerald and his wife, but little did she know the crib was about to return to her in the most unexpected way.
Gerald learned that Valerie had lost her baby. Instead of keeping the crib, he did something truly incredible.
As it turned out, Gerald is a carpenter. He brought the crib home to his workshop and transformed it into something Valerie could hold onto and cherish for life.
Much to her surprise, Gerald returned to Valerie’s home the following week to present her with his creation, and she broke down sobbing on the spot. The video has been millions of times, and you’re about to see why.
