King Charles III of the United Kingdom is reported to be "doing well" after undergoing a planned treatment to address his enlarged prostate. The announcement of the corrective procedure came last week, with the 75-year-old monarch accompanying his wife, Queen Camilla, to the private London Clinic in west London.
According to a source within Buckingham Palace, Charles was keen to share the details of his diagnosis to encourage other men who may be experiencing similar symptoms to get checked. The source emphasized that the king's decision was in line with public health advice.
While Queen Camilla was seen leaving the facility on Friday, a close friend of the king suggested that the mood inside Charles' home has been subdued, as the medical exam serves as a reminder that the monarch is aging. Although the enlargement of his prostate may be benign, the treatment is not a minor matter, as stated by an ex-courtier.
It is expected that King Charles III could be out of action for approximately a month following the procedure. Last week, Queen Camilla provided a small update on her husband's health during a visit to the Aberdeen Art Gallery in Scotland, assuring that he is fine and looking forward to getting back to work.
Coincidentally, Charles' medical procedure followed closely after his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, underwent planned abdominal surgery. The palace revealed that the Princess of Wales will remain in the hospital for 10 to 14 days before continuing her recovery at home. Before his own procedure, Charles visited Middleton, who is recovering at the same hospital.
As both Kate Middleton and King Charles III go through their respective medical journeys, Prince William faces added pressure and is expected to step up to fulfill his royal duties. Experts suggest that while it is unusual to have two royals temporarily out of action, William has demonstrated his ability to cope well under stress in the past.
Updates on Middleton's progress will only be shared when there is significant new information to disclose, and her personal medical information will remain private. Meanwhile, the focus remains on King Charles III's recovery as he undergoes treatment for his enlarged prostate, with hopes for a full return to health in the near future.
The royal family continues to demonstrate resilience and dedication to their responsibilities despite these health setbacks.
