King Charles to Receive Treatment in Hospital for Enlarged Prostate

Britain’s King Charles will visit a hospital next week for a procedure to treat his enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace said Wednesday, Jan. 17.

“In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement. “His Majesty’s condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure. The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.”

The 75-year-old’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation, the palace said.

The announcement comes shortly after it was revealed Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is in hospital after undergoing abdominal surgery.
