However, let's set the record straight. Royal staff are dismissing these rumors as nothing more than "total nonsense." Interestingly, the initial source of the speculation was a Spanish news outlet. Turns out, these sensational headlines were nothing more than a fabrication, cooked up to cash in on a completely false narrative.
From Radar Online:
The rumors that Prince Williams’s wife was in an “induced coma” were shared by Spanish journalist Concha Calleja over the weekend. Calleja also reported that Kate’s life was “in great danger” following her surgery.
“The doctors had to take drastic decisions at that moment because of the complications that arose,” Calleja reported on Sunday. “The decision was to put her in an induced coma.”
“They had to intubate her,” the Spanish journalist continued. “There were serious complications that they didn’t expect because the operation went well, but the postoperative period didn’t go so well.”
“The concern in the royal household was palpable,” Calleja added. “It was about saving her life.”
Calleja went on to report that “practically an entire hospital [was] being set up” at William and Kate’s Windsor home because the princess was “going to require a lot of assistance” after her abdominal surgery.
Officials from Buckingham Palace dismissed Calleja’s reporting on Thursday. The royal sources called the Spanish journalist’s claims “total nonsense” and “fundamentally” and “totally made-up.”
“It’s total nonsense,” a Buckingham Palace source told the Times on Thursday. “No attempt was made by that journalist to fact-check anything that she said with anyone in the household.”
“It’s fundamentally, totally made-up, and I’ll use polite English here: it’s absolutely not the case,” the royal insider added.
