King Charles, the monarch of the British Monarchy, has been admitted to a London hospital for prostate surgery.
This morning, he was seen leaving Clarence House accompanied by Queen Camilla, as they made their way to the London Clinic in Marylebone.
Coincidentally, this is the same hospital where Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is currently recovering.
The King is expected to stay in the hospital for two nights while he recovers from the planned surgery.
Buckingham Palace released a statement confirming his admission and expressing gratitude for the well wishes received.
The statement also mentioned that the King’s diagnosis has raised public health awareness, which he is pleased about.
This news comes after two recent health scares within the Royal Family.
Last week, it was announced that the Princess of Wales had undergone successful abdominal surgery.
Shortly after, it was revealed that King Charles would be undergoing a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate.
No further updates have been provided by Buckingham Palace or Kensington since then.
Following his diagnosis on January 17 during his New Year’s break in Scotland, the King promptly canceled his scheduled engagements and sought rest as advised by his doctors.
His decision to share the news was driven by his desire to encourage other men to prioritize their health and undergo regular check-ups.
Despite his surgery, the King’s commitment to his duties remains unwavering.
The fact that he chose to undergo the procedure on Friday and recover over the weekend speaks volumes about his work ethic.
Initially, it was indicated that no counselors of state would be required to step in during his absence, suggesting his intention to continue fulfilling his responsibilities.
It is worth noting the convenience of both senior royals, King Charles and Kate, being treated at the same hospital.
This allows family members to visit them both simultaneously, a thoughtful arrangement that was likely planned in advance.
As King Charles embarks on his road to recovery, the nation holds him in their thoughts, wishing for a successful surgery and a swift return to his duties.
The British Monarchy will undoubtedly continue to provide updates on his condition as necessary, ensuring the public remains informed.
