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.
