King Charles of Britain is reported to be in good health following a planned procedure for an enlarged prostate at the London Clinic. The 75-year-old monarch, accompanied by Queen Camilla, had the treatment on the same day his daughter-in-law, Princess Kate, is recovering from abdominal surgery in the same hospital.
Queen Camilla assured the public that Charles was “fine,” and Buckingham Palace confirmed the success of the procedure and his positive postoperative condition.
Charles decided to share details of his benign condition to raise awareness of prostate health among men over 50. The National Health Service noted a remarkable 1,000% increase in visits to its webpage offering advice on prostate enlargement after the announcement.
This health update follows a series of medical challenges for the royal family. Princess Kate, 42, is recuperating from non-cancerous surgery at the London Clinic. Meanwhile, the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, announced being diagnosed with malignant skin cancer. The ex-wife of Prince Andrew underwent surgery for breast cancer last summer.
While Buckingham Palace typically treats medical matters as private, Charles’s decision to disclose his condition aims to encourage men to seek medical advice. The king’s recovery is progressing well, and he is expected to return to his duties after a brief period of rest.
The royal family faces health concerns, emphasizing the importance of awareness and timely medical attention.
