King Charles to Undergo Prostate Treatment; Kate Middleton Recovers from Surgery

Prince Harry Learns of Father's Diagnosis Through Media; Royal Health Issues Strain Slimmed-Down Monarchy

  • King Charles has been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and is scheduled to undergo a corrective procedure next week. The King's public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.
  • Prince Harry may have found out about his father's diagnosis through news alerts rather than being informed by Buckingham Palace due to the timing of the public announcement.
  • Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has undergone a successful abdominal surgery and is expected to remain in the hospital for 10-14 days. She is unlikely to return to her royal duties until after Easter.
  • Both the King's and the Princess's health conditions have put pressure on the slimmed-down monarchy, with three of the most senior royals out of action for the immediate future.
  • King Charles's decision to share his diagnosis has led to a surge in men checking their risk of prostate cancer, according to Prostate Cancer UK.
