And speaking to Mandy Wiener on South Africa Radio 702, the royal revealed that she's hoping to return home in October.
"Initially I was supposed to be here for 10 to 12 days, unfortunately, I had a problem equalising my ears, and I found out through the doctors that I had a sinus infection and quite a serious one," she explained.
"So, it's taking time to address this problem that I'm having."
She added: "I cannot force healing, so I will be grounded in South Africa until the end of October."
The 43-year-old also said that she was due to undergo another medical procedure but revealed that she "feel[s] well, I feel good."

She admitted to News24 that she didn't realise she had the infection until she saw a specialist after her ears became incredibly sore.
The former Olympic swimmer spoke of how much she missed her family, and revealed they were planning a trip to visit her, but they had to be careful because of COVID restrictions.
Although she missed her tenth anniversary, the Palace of Monaco released several romantic videos from their relationship.
