Prince Edward’s wife, Sophie, was airlifted to a hospital for emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, Britain’s Press Assn. news agency said.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the type of surgery but said the 36-year-old countess of Wessex was recovering.
There had been no announcement that she was pregnant. In an ectopic pregnancy, the fetus develops in a Fallopian tube.
Edward, Queen Elizabeth II’s youngest child, was at his wife’s side, the palace said.
