In a recent development, King Charles III of Britain will be taking a break from his royal duties for up to a month to recover from prostate surgery. The monarch underwent a medical procedure last week to address an enlarged prostate and is currently recuperating at the London Clinic. Despite the nature of his treatment, reports indicate that he is “doing well” according to Queen Camilla, who visited her husband on Sunday.
Notably, the King will be on a temporary hiatus from his official responsibilities during this period of recovery. However, he remains available for state matters even while in the hospital and can attend to government papers once he is discharged. It has been revealed that the King will continue handling red boxes with government documents during his time away from public duties.
The decision to undergo the medical procedure was made after the King’s doctors advised him to rest, leading to the cancellation of his engagements. Charles, who ascended to the throne 16 months ago, had been actively involved in his private duties until Thursday before heading to London from Norfolk to prepare for the surgery.
The monarch’s health update also shed light on his recent visit to the Princess of Wales, Kate, who is currently admitted to the same hospital. Kate underwent abdominal surgery last week, and the King’s visit to his daughter-in-law suggests a familial support system during their respective medical journeys.
The King’s diagnosis of the benign condition took place on January 17 during a check-up at Birkhall, Aberdeenshire, where he was staying at the royal Sandringham estate. Following the diagnosis, King Charles III has advocated for other men to prioritize their health, undergo regular check-ups, and seek medical intervention if necessary.
As the King embarks on a period of recuperation, the nation awaits his return to full health and a resumption of his duties on behalf of the British monarchy.
