In an interview with Hello! magazine, Middleton said that she was "naturally worried" when she heard about Catherine's surgery, which took place in January 2024.
"Any parent would be worried about their child going into surgery," she said. "But I know Catherine is in good hands and I have faith that she will make a full recovery."
Middleton also spoke about her pride in her daughter's strength and resilience.
"Catherine is an incredibly strong woman," she said. "She has always faced challenges with grace and dignity, and I know she will do the same now."
Catherine's hospitalization was not the first time that Middleton has spoken about her concerns for her daughter's health. In 2013, she opened up about the challenges of being a grandmother to royal children.
"It's lovely to be a grandmother," she said. "But it's also quite daunting because you want to do everything right."
Middleton's comments come amid a time of increased scrutiny on the royal family's health. In recent months, there have been concerns about the health of both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
Despite these concerns, Middleton remains optimistic about the future.
"I am confident that the royal family will continue to serve the country with distinction for many years to come," she said.
Carole Middleton's role as a mother and grandmother
Carole Middleton has always been a supportive and loving mother to her children. She is known for her down-to-earth nature and her close relationship with her daughters, Catherine and Pippa.
Since Catherine married Prince William in 2011, Middleton has become a popular figure in her own right. She is often seen accompanying her daughter on royal engagements, and she has even been invited to stay at Buckingham Palace on a number of occasions.
Middleton's role as a grandmother has also been well-received. She is often seen doting on her grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
