“Like thousands of men each year, the king consulted for an enlarged prostate. His Majesty’s condition is mild and he will be heading to hospital next week for a corrective procedure.“, announced the palace in a brief press release.
“The king’s public engagements will be postponed for a short recovery period“, specifies the text.
This is the first time since his accession to the throne on September 8, 2022 upon the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II that the palace has publicly discussed the state of health of the sovereign.
Prostate hypertrophy is a very common pathology in men of a certain age and which, if left untreated, can lead to a progressive deterioration in bladder function as well as urinary infections.
This announcement comes as Princess Kate, wife of Charles’s eldest son, Prince William, is hospitalized for at least 10 days in London after an abdominal operation which was successful but forced her to suspend her obligations until end of March.
