Overview

  • King Charles has returned to London from Sandringham ahead of a planned operation to correct an enlarged prostate.
  • The King's condition is benign and he will need several weeks' rest from public engagements after the surgery, but intends to resume his full schedule once he has a clean bill of health.
  • The King's decision to share details of his medical condition led to a surge in the public seeking information about enlarged prostates, with NHS England reporting a significant increase in visits to its 'enlarged prostate' page.
  • The King's surgery announcement came on the same day that Kensington Palace confirmed that the Princess of Wales had undergone abdominal surgery.
  • Despite the King's presence in London, the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom is being flown over Buckingham Palace, indicating that the monarch is in residence.
