King Charles was spotted behind the wheel in Sandringham, Norfolk today as he readies himself for prostate surgery.
The monarch, donning green knitted gloves, appeared to be in good health as he drove an Audi 4×4 on public roads near his cherished Sandringham estate.
This sighting comes shortly after the Royal Family faced a dual health scare.
Last Wednesday, Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales had undergone successful abdominal surgery and will remain hospitalized for a maximum of two weeks.
Just 90 minutes later, Buckingham Palace disclosed that King Charles would undergo treatment this week for an enlarged prostate.
The King was enjoying his New Year break in Scotland when he received the diagnosis.
He had undergone a check-up last week after experiencing some issues.
On Friday, he flew from Aberdeen to Norfolk and was captured driving the 15-mile journey to Sandringham.
Earlier today, Queen Camilla assured a well-wisher that the King was doing well in preparation for the planned surgery.
During her visit to Deacon and Son, a 175-year-old family-run jewelry shop, Camilla engaged in a brief walkabout.
One of the people waiting outside, Jessie Jackson, 86, from Swindon, Wiltshire, had the opportunity to chat with the Queen.
Ms. Jackson, who held a Union flag, shook the Queen’s hand and inquired about Charles’ well-being.
Camilla expressed gratitude for the concern, and Ms. Jackson remarked that the Queen was delightful.
Accompanying her, Nicky Jackson, 48, added that they also asked about Charles and were informed that he is doing fine.
They admitted, however, that they had forgotten to inquire about Kate, expressing remorse for their oversight.
Ms. Jackson described herself as a devoted royalist and was thrilled by the encounter.
As King Charles gears up for his prostate surgery, the public is reassured by his appearance on the road in Sandringham.
