King Charles, aged 75, is set to undergo a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate, as confirmed by Buckingham Palace. The statement assures that the condition is benign, similar to thousands of men each year. He will be hospitalized for the procedure, followed by a brief recuperation period.
In an unusual move, King Charles has chosen to make his medical situation public, aiming to encourage other men to seek medical attention if they experience similar symptoms, aligning with public health advice.
This announcement comes shortly after Princess Kate’s revelation of her own hospitalization for abdominal surgery, with an expected two-week stay. The royal family’s health concerns have captured public attention, shedding light on their personal battles with medical issues.
