"What this means in practice is that big decisions, such as the appointment of new staff, can wait.
"It’s a reflection of Her Royal Highness’s importance to the future of the Monarchy that she has been given as much time as she needs."
They added: "As Sovereign, His Majesty is in a very different position from the Princess of Wales.
"There is no need for her to be seen while she’s recovering."
