King Charles III and the Princess of Wales have left a London hospital after receiving treatments for separate health issues, prompting concerns about the royal family’s well-being in the UK.
The 75-year-old king was hospitalized at the London Clinic for an enlarged prostate, described as benign by Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, the princess, formerly known as Kate Middleton, underwent abdominal surgery for undisclosed reasons.
Charles, accompanied by Queen Camilla, departed the clinic around 3 p.m. local time on Monday, acknowledging well-wishers but avoiding reporters’ questions. The princess, on the other hand, returned home for recovery, although the exact timing of her discharge was not disclosed.
Expressing gratitude for the medical team’s support, Buckingham Palace stated that Charles appreciated the kind messages received during his hospitalization. The king, who ascended the throne 16 months ago, underwent surgery last Friday after being diagnosed with an enlarged prostate earlier in January.
In a proactive move, Charles publicly announced his surgery to encourage other men to prioritize their health and undergo prostate checks. Meanwhile, the princess, aged 42, is reportedly progressing well in her recovery, with her condition confirmed as non-cancerous. She has temporarily suspended her public engagements until after Easter.
While the palace did not provide further details regarding the princess’s surgery, both incidents have highlighted the royal family’s health concerns and recovery processes.
