I think anytime a royal is in the hospital or having a major health event,
there is public concern. I have compiled this information for the purpose of
allowing the public to better understand the
royal’s health history.
All information I share is publicly available information that
has been released by the palace. Out of respect for the royals, I
don’t include any rumors or anything not confirmed by the palace
or royals.
