King Charles III Discharged After Prostate Procedure; Princess of Wales Recuperates from Abdominal Surgery
King Charles III has been discharged from a private London clinic on Monday, where he underwent a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate. The 75-year-old monarch was admitted to the London Clinic, the same facility where the Princess of Wales, formerly Kate Middleton, recently had abdominal surgery.
Charles, who ascended the throne 16 months ago, was diagnosed with the benign condition on January 17 after experiencing undisclosed symptoms. Following the diagnosis, he canceled engagements and was advised to rest before the procedure, which concluded by Friday afternoon.
The monarch’s decision to announce the surgery in advance aimed to encourage other men to prioritize prostate health in line with public health advice.
In a parallel development, the Princess of Wales was released from the private London hospital and has returned home to continue recuperating from her abdominal surgery. The 42-year-old princess underwent planned surgery on January 16, and her office at Kensington Palace reported that she is “making good progress” in her recovery.
Although the palace did not provide specific details about the surgery, it emphasized that the princess’s condition was not cancerous. Consequently, she has canceled public engagements until after Easter.
Expressing gratitude, the palace statement read, “The Prince and Princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided.”
While the princess continues her recovery, King Charles III remains hospitalized as of Monday, following treatment for his enlarged prostate. Royal officials described the condition as benign, and the 75-year-old monarch is expected to be released soon.
The decision to disclose the king’s surgery in advance aligns with his efforts to encourage other men to prioritize prostate health and undergo necessary checks in accordance with public health advice. This update is a breaking news report, and further developments will be monitored.
