The Royal Family is facing a double health scare as the Princess of Wales undergoes surgery, while King Charles is set to have a prostate-related treatment

The announcements were within an hour and a half of each other and raised concerns among the public about the health of these prominent members of the royal household.

Princess of Wales in hospital

The news that the Princess of Wales, Kate, 42, was admitted to The London Clinic for a planned abdominal surgery came as a shock to most. She will need a stay of 10 to 14 days expected before her return home. While the details of her surgery remain private, Kensington Palace assured the public that her condition is non-cancerous.

King Charles’ condition explained

King Charles, 75, has strayed from what is considered to be the norm for a royal by sharing details of his condition. Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles will undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate, but the condition is benign. The corrective procedure is scheduled for next week, leading to the postponement of the King’s public engagements during his recovery.

London clinic to treat royals

Both royals will receive treatment at The London Clinic, a prestigious private hospital in England known for its world-class medical resources. Unsurprisingly, members of the royal family will have access to top-notch medical professionals. In a move that most have described as charming, Prince William is expected to cancel official duties to support Kate during her recovery.
