@bachophile ...
Any thoughts on what she has going on?
Someone on Twitter said that it could be mucocoele of the appendix - looks benign, but later found to be not so.
I question this - after all, she was hospitalized and we were told to expect for her to be there for 10 days.
My guess - uterine cancer. Looked OK at time of hysterectomy, but pathology gets on the phone, "Uh, chaps..."

If that’s the case, I always figured it was “women’s stuff” that sent her to the hospital. Didn’t necessarily expect cancer to be the complication. Just hope it’s not one of those particularly aggressive cancers.
Hopefully too it is indeed at an early stage and they can eradicate it. She’s young and seemingly in good shape. That will be to her benefit in the treatment phase.

What is a "Whipple"?
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major surgical operation most often performed to remove cancerous tumours from the head of the pancreas.[2] It is also used for the treatment of pancreatic or duodenal trauma, or chronic pancreatitis.[2] Due to the shared blood supply of organs in the proximal gastrointestinal system, surgical removal of the head of the pancreas also necessitates removal of the duodenum, proximal jejunum, gallbladder, and, occasionally, part of the stomach.
Usually lasts about 6 hours, in good hands.

Wow! Sounds very sad.

Also slightly odd that "royal sources" and her "friends" apparently only spoke to The Daily Beast.
