The British King Charles III. has returned to London ahead of his planned prostate operation this week, according to a media report.
As the Sun reported, the 75-year-old monarch was spotted in a car near Buckingham Palace. Footage showed Charles in the back seat of a limousine. As usual, the royal standard was hoisted above Buckingham Palace in the presence of the monarch, the British news agency PA also reported.
The palace recently announced that Charles will undergo surgery this week to treat his enlarged prostate. He had postponed some appointments for this.
Unusual process
It is unusual for the British royals to make a diagnosis public. However, the king decided to go public with it in order to encourage other men to have themselves examined, PA continued. According to information, Charles’s condition is benign.
According to reports, Charles was staying at his country estate Sandringham in the eastern English county of Norfolk. In London he usually lives in Clarence House, which served as his residence before his accession to the throne and is only a few hundred meters from Buckingham Palace.
His daughter-in-law Princess Kate recently had to undergo abdominal surgery, but what exactly it was is not known. In any case, it shouldn’t be cancer. The 42-year-old is currently recovering in a private clinic in London. Meanwhile, ex-sister-in-law Sarah Ferguson “Fergie”, the former wife of Charles’ brother Prince Andrew, received her second cancer diagnosis in twelve months, it was recently announced.
