King Charles spends second day in London hospital after surgery

Britain’s King Charles III spent a second day in hospital on Saturday, where he was visited by his wife Queen Camilla following scheduled prostate surgery.

Camilla was seen arriving by a back entrance at the London Clinic, a private hospital in the capital, where he underwent the procedure on Friday, according to AFP.

The British monarch was admitted to the hospital on Friday to undergo a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate on Friday, Buckingham Palace said.

“The king was this morning admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment,” the palace said in a statement.

Reports have disclosed that Charles, 75, was expected to spend two days in hospital and that he was “doing well” after the surgery.

Charles’s daughter-in-law Catherine Princess of Wales, 42, is currently also at the hospital where she has spent 12 days following abdominal surgery.

Royal officials took the unusual step last week of issuing a bulletin on the king’s health, disclosing that he had an enlarged prostate but the condition was benign.
