The King went into hospital this morning to have a planned “corrective procedure” to address an enlarged prostate.
Charles arrived at the private London Clinic where the Princess of Wales is also having treatment after undergoing abdominal surgery last week.
Buckingham Palace said last week that Charles, 75, would undergo the procedure this week for a benign condition which was common among men over 50.
The King is understood to have visited the Princess of Wales who is recovering in the London Clinic from abdominal surgery ahead of his own treatment, sources said.
According to PEOPLE magazine, the news of Kate’s hospitalisation came as a surprise to family friends and those who work closely with the royals, with “no indication that anything was wrong”.
It comes as Sarah Ferguson gave a health update while leaving a London hospital on Wednesday days after she revealed she had been diagnosed with skin cancer.

1 hour ago Sarah, Duchess of York on cancer and her royal rehabilitation
As ever, it takes a child to ask the most pertinent question, the one that really cuts to the chase. In December 2023, it came from a young boy called Toby at the Holy Trinity Primary School in Burnley.
“How did you feel when you married into the royal family?”
It’s not a question many of us get the chance to ask, but it is perhaps one that Toby’s respondent has answered before.

2 hours ago Prince Harry says he’s watched Meghan Markle’s small role in 2006 film
Prince Harry has proven once again he’s Meghan Markle’s biggest fan.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, attended the Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills, California, on 19 January. The royal was being recognised for his work as a British Army veteran and pilot, and cracked a joke about his father King Charles III during his speech.
Among those in attendance included director Matthew Cole Weiss, who had previously directed the 2006 TV movie Deceit, in which Meghan appears in one scene. Taking to social media, Weiss recalled his encounter with Harry and revealed that the father of two has watched his wife’s small role in the film.

3 hours ago The King has arrived back in London ahead of treatment for an enlarged prostate
King Charles, 75, was seen being driven near Buckingham Palace after travelling from Sandringham in Norfolk on Thursday afternoon, The Sun reported.
The monarch has cancelled a number of engagements as he prepares to undergo a corrective procedure this week. Buckingham Palace confirmed the union flag above monarchy HQ had been replaced with a Royal Standard, signalling the King was in residence.
The King often stays in nearby Clarence House – his preferred London home.
Charles was diagnosed with the benign condition on January 17 while staying at Birkhall in Scotland, after going for a check-up because he was experiencing symptoms.

The Princess of Wales’ surgery reportedly “came as a surprise” to those close to the royal family as she continues her stay in hospital.
According to PEOPLE magazine, the news of Kate’s hospitalisation came as a surprise to family friends and even those who work closely with the royals, with “no indication that anything was wrong”.
Kate was admitted to the London Clinic last Tuesday ahead of planned abdominal surgery and is expected to remain there for between ten to 14 days as she recovers.
The 42-year-old princess is said to be “doing well” but is not set to return to official duties until after Easter.

5 hours ago The extraordinary history of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew’s relationship
Fergie has stood by Prince Andrew during the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, providing soothing words to her former lover as he was forced to step back from royal duties in 2019.
She described him as a “very good and kind man” and gushingly described their wedding day on July 23 1986 as “extraordinary” and an “exceptional day”.
Andrew for his part, rushed to be at Fergie’s side following her treatment for breast cancer last summer at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, Berkshire, where they live together.
They share two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, but suffered a difficult romance that was often stymied by Andrew’s Royal Navy service that meant he was away for long periods of times.

7 hours ago Kate Middleton is doing it… but should we really be working through illness?
The Princess of Wales may currently be recovering from abdominal surgery, but that isn’t stopping her from working from her hospital bed. The claim, reported in The Times this week, was met with both praise and concern. Some lauded Kate’s apparently relentless work ethic. Others suggested it set an unhealthy precedent. Wherever you stand on the matter, it typifies a wider trend: a social tendency to work through illness… even at its most severe.
For some, the reluctance to call in sick is a result of ambient workplace pressure: an unspoken rule, disseminated through disapproving glances and examples set by colleagues. For others it’s out of necessity, a response to work insecurity and a lack of sick pay. But for many of us it is entirely self-imposed, tied to the glorification of hustle culture and a widespread “suck it up” mentality enforced by neoliberalist attitudes to work. It has transformed “the sick day” into a luxury rather than a necessity, particularly in the UK.

Kate Middleton is doing it… but should we really be working through illness? More and more of us are declining to take sick days despite being ill, or persevering through an illness because we can’t afford not to. As Kate reportedly powers through recovery from abdominal surgery – even working from her hospital bed, reports claim – Juno Kelly asks whether we need to prioritise health if we can

8 hours ago Derided but defiant – Fergie the irrepressible Royal
A second cancer diagnosis could have left the Duchess of York reeling, but those closest to her tell Anna Tyzak that while ‘she’s the biggest softie you’ll ever meet, when it comes to her own life, she’s as tough as old boots’ – and that includes standing by those who have abandoned her
Iam 64 and just getting started,” wrote Sarah, Duchess of York, to her social media followers on New Year’s Day. Her words captioned a photograph of her swathed in emerald silk and resting on her bed – defiant and understandably so given the highs and lows of 2023.
The year when she not only was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer (her reconstructed left breast is affectionately named Derek), but also published a second bestselling novel and accompanied the Royal family on their Christmas Day Sandringham walkabout for the first time in nearly 30 years. “I have more stories to tell,” she assured her 680,000 followers.
