Buckingham Palace has released a statement as King Charles III was admitted to hospital in London on Friday where he will undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Charles was diagnosed with the condition earlier this month and arrived in London from his country estate in Norfolk on January 25 for a planned medical procedure.
“The King was this morning admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment,” the palace announced on Friday.
“His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.”
