LONDON, England -- The Duchess of Cornwall, the second wife of Prince Charles formerly known as Camilla Parker Bowles, is to undergo a hysterectomy operation at the beginning of March.
A spokeswoman for Clarence House, the Prince of Wales' official London residence, said the Duchess, who turns 60 this year, was not suffering from cancer.
The spokeswoman said the Duchess would carry out public engagements in the run-up to the routine operation, including an overseas tour with Prince Charles to a number of Middle Eastern Gulf states.
She is expected to recuperate for six weeks after the operation.
"It's a routine scheduled operation but we wouldn't disclose any further details of a private medical condition," the spokeswoman said.
