In an unusual turn of events, Buckingham Palace revealed on Wednesday that King Charles is set to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate, coincidentally announced shortly after news of Kate Middleton’s hospitalization for abdominal surgery.
Palace sources indicate that the joint disclosure was prompted by the need to reschedule Charles’ upcoming engagements due to the impending procedure scheduled for next week.
The decision to address the enlarged prostate promptly is evident from the postponement of Charles’ planned activities at Dumfries House in Scotland.
The palace clarified that the king’s condition is benign, and he will undergo a corrective procedure next week, leading to a brief period of postponed public engagements for recovery.
Unlike typical royal discretion about health matters, the palace stated that King Charles chose to share his diagnosis details to encourage other men facing similar symptoms to seek medical attention in accordance with public health advice.
