Buckingham Palace announced on Friday that King Charles, 75, has been admitted to the hospital for treatment related to an enlarged prostate. The monarch is currently receiving care at the London Clinic private hospital, where a procedure to address the condition will take place. The duration of his hospital stay remains uncertain at this point.
Interestingly, this hospital holds recent significance for the royal family, as it is the same facility where Charles’ daughter-in-law, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, underwent planned abdominal surgery just last week. In a touching gesture, the king visited Catherine in the hospital on Friday morning before commencing his own scheduled treatment.
The news comes a week after Buckingham Palace initially announced the need for a “corrective procedure” for King Charles’s enlarged prostate. The royal family, known for its discretion in matters of health, has not provided specific details about the nature of the procedure or the expected recovery time.
As the king undergoes medical care, well-wishes from the public and expressions of support for the royal family have poured in. The monarchy holds a significant place in the hearts of many, and updates on the king’s health are awaited with anticipation. Further information regarding his condition and recovery is expected to be provided by Buckingham Palace in due course.
