UK’s King Charles III ‘doing well’ after prostate surgery

King Charles III is recovering after undergoing prostate surgery at the same private clinic where his daughter-in-law is also recuperating from a separate procedure

Britain’s King Charles III was said to be “doing well” after undergoing scheduled prostate surgery on Friday at the same private clinic where his daughter-in-law is recovering from an operation.

The 75-year-old monarch, who is also head of state in 14 countries outside the U.K., was seen arriving at The London Clinic earlier Thursday accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla.

Catherine Princess of Wales, whose husband Prince William is Charles’s elder son and heir, has spent 11 days at the same hospital after abdominal surgery.

It is not known how long the king will spend in hospital but The Times newspaper said he was expected to stay for two days to recover.

British media reports, quoting unnamed sources, said that he was “doing well” after the surgery and that he had visited Kate before his own treatment.

“The king was this morning admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment,” Buckingham Palace said.

“His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.”

Camilla was seen leaving the hospital after her husband’s surgery.
