Updated Information On King Charles Health After Prostrate Surgery
Britain’s King Charles has reportedly concluded his treatment for an enlarged prostate, after being admitted to hospital on Friday morning.
It is understood that the King is “doing well” and is expected to spend at least one night at the hospital.
The procedure was carried out at the London Clinic private hospital, where Catherine, the Princess of Wales had surgery last week.
The King visited his daughter-in-law in the hospital on Friday morning, ahead of his own treatment.

Queen Camilla has left the hospital in Marylebone in central London, having arrived with the King this morning.
Before leaving the hospital, she said of her husband: “He’s doing well, thank you.”
King Charles had made his health problem public as a way of sending a message to other men to get their prostates checked.
Following the disclosure, the NHS website saw a surge in searches about enlarged prostates, an interest welcomed by doctors and charities.

When she leaves the hospital it is expected that she will spend several months recuperating at home in Windsor. It means the princess will not be taking part in any official duties until after Easter.
There was a third royal health story this week, when it was revealed that Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, had been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
It had been discovered during treatment for her breast cancer, which had been diagnosed last summer.
“Naturally another cancer diagnosis has been a shock, but I’m in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support,” said the duchess, who was formerly married to Prince Andrew.
A spokesman for the duchess said she will have further investigations to ensure the melanoma has been caught in the early stages.
