King Charles is said to have gone through treatment for an enlarged prostate, after being admitted to hospital this morning.
Reports say he is “doing well” and is expected to spend at least one night at the hospital.
The procedure was carried out at the London Clinic private hospital, where Catherine, the Princess of Wales had surgery last week. The King visited his daughter-in-law in the hospital this morning, ahead of his own treatment.
King Charles has made his health problem public as a way of sending a message to other men to get their prostates checked.
Following the disclosure, the NHS website has seen a surge in searches about enlarged prostates, an interest welcomed by doctors and charities.
A statement from Buckingham Palace said the King is “delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness. He also thanked those who had “sent their good wishes”. The plan for King Charles, aged 75, to have “corrective procedure” for his enlarged prostate was revealed by the palace last week.
