These days certainly bring some unexpected twists, as both King Charles and Kate, the Princess of Wales, find themselves in the same London hospital. This marks a significant event for the royal family, reminiscent of the time when they had an unfortunate experience with lobster thermidor.

Adding to this intrigue, a question arises: Why haven’t Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis visited their mother?

Kate, a devoted mother of three, has been in the London Clinic for abdominal surgery for 12 days now. This also means 12 days have passed since her children last saw her.

After news of Kate’s health issue broke, Prince William temporarily stepped back from his royal duties to focus on fatherhood. He was spotted leaving the hospital, opting for a discreet exit in his $268,000 electric Audi. Reports in the Sun and the Daily Mail have mentioned that William has been visiting Kate daily, showing his support, but the absence of their children sparks curiosity.

What about Kate’s loving parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her siblings, Pippa Matthews and James Middleton? They share a close bond. Notably, James, who has been open about his struggles with depression, has credited Kate for supporting him during difficult times, even accompanying him to some therapy sessions.

It’s important to note that the reason for the children not visiting isn’t due to protecting them from media frenzy. Rebecca English, the royal editor of the Daily Mail, disclosed that there’s an agreement with the media to maintain privacy for Kate and other patients, ensuring no photographers, camera crews, or journalists linger outside the hospital.

This means it’s quite feasible for William or the Middletons to quietly bring the children in for a visit away from prying eyes.

One explanation offered by the Sun hints that William and Kate want things to remain as normal as possible for their kids during her absence. While this seems reasonable during the weekdays, it doesn’t entirely explain why the children haven’t visited over the past weekend.

Instead of visiting, reports indicate the children spent time in a more pastoral setting, enjoying their time at their Middleton grandparents’ $7 million estate in Bucklebury.

While grandparents indulging them with treats is lovely, isn’t a hug from their mom equally important?

The family house, Adelaide Cottage, is only about a 45-minute drive from the hospital, so logistics shouldn’t hinder a heartwarming family visit.

This situation becomes even more perplexing when considering the royal family’s public image. They often emphasize their commitment to parenting and spending quality time with their children.

For instance, William and Kate are known for taking time off during school holidays to enjoy family activities, showcasing their dedication to creating cherished memories.

Recently, a royal aide shared with the Sunday Times, “100 percent family first, day job second” is their guiding principle in navigating these challenging times.

Yet, something seems to be amiss if the children aren’t being brought to see their mother.

It’s understandable that seeing a parent in the hospital can be daunting for children. However, perhaps a short visit to assure them of Kate’s recovery journey could be beneficial.

A view from the Mail’s English suggested that royals generally don’t visit each other in hospitals, or rarely do so.

However, this protocol might be outdated, considering recent changes and the more modern approach taken by the current royal generation. King Charles quickly visited Kate upon his arrival at the hospital, marking a shift in the traditional royal approach.

Similarly, Queen Camilla has shown devotion, visiting her husband three times in just a day.

Despite the usual family dynamics seeming skewed amid these challenging times, the royal family remains active and supportive.

It might even be worthwhile for Camilla to explore alternative methods, like using crystals or seeking spiritual guidance, to clear any negative energy surrounding the palace.

Right now, it seems that the traditional Windsor routine has been upended, and the family is adapting to these unexpected hurdles with determination and support.
