Queen Camilla has broken protocol by accompanying her husband, King Charles, to the hospital this morning for his planned prostate surgery.

This move is considered highly unusual as it is not common for spouses of members of the Royal Family to accompany them during hospital treatments.

Typically, they undergo procedures alone.

ITD’s Royal Editor Chris Shipp pointed out this departure from tradition, stating that Queen Camilla has gone into the hospital with King Charles.

While this may seem ordinary for most families, it is quite extraordinary for the Royal Family to have their spouse by their side during medical procedures.

The late Queen and Prince Philip always went to the hospital on their own.

This showcases King Charles’ modern approach to health issues, as he openly discusses his surgery and now receives his wife’s support throughout his treatment.

On January 17th, Buckingham Palace released a statement confirming that His Majesty would undergo a routine procedure for an enlarged prostate.

The statement emphasized that the King’s condition is benign and that he will attend the hospital next week for the corrective surgery.

His public engagements will be postponed for a short period to allow for recuperation.

The King’s decision to be open about his condition is believed to be a way to encourage other men to prioritize their health.

This move is notable, considering his mother, Queen Elizabeth, kept her health issues private later in her life.

By being transparent about his surgery, King Charles has also shielded his daughter-in-law, Princess Kate, from heightened media attention.

Princess Kate recently underwent abdominal surgery, unrelated to cancer, and is currently recovering in the hospital.

She is not expected to resume her royal duties until after Easter.

The timing of both announcements, so close together, is thought to be a deliberate strategy.

Royal historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop commented on the calculated nature of Buckingham Palace’s actions.

She stated that the release of a statement regarding the King’s health immediately after news of Princess Kate’s surgery was intentional.

This timing diverted attention from his daughter-in-law’s operation, while also providing the public with another topic to focus on.

Buckingham Palace is known for its strategic planning and does not engage in spontaneous actions.

In addition to these developments, the Royal Family received another health setback last Sunday.

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, revealed that she has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, just months after receiving treatment for breast cancer.

This news adds to the recent health concerns within the Royal Family.

Queen Camilla’s decision to accompany King Charles to the hospital highlights the couple’s strong bond and support for one another.

It also showcases King Charles’ commitment to openness and encouraging others to prioritize their health.
