The Princess of Wales was admitted to the London Clinic last Tuesday ahead of planned abdominal surgery and is expected to remain there for between 10 and 14 days in total as she recovers from the successful operation.

The 42-year-old princess is said to be “doing well” but is not set to return to official duties until after Easter.

Meanwhile, Camilla has urged her workaholic husband Charles to take it easy as he prepares for treatment for an enlarged prostate in hospital this week.

An insider told The Sun: “The Queen has told him he needs to slow down a bit.”

In an Instagram post, the Duchess of York said she has been “taking some time to herself” at her home in Austria following the diagnosis – which came just months after she revealed she had breast cancer.
