King Charles III of England is set to undergo a prostate-related treatment next week, according to a brief statement released this Wednesday by Buckingham Palace, the monarch’s official residence in London. The palace described the king’s condition as “good-natured.”
In the note, the Palace explained that, as happens with thousands of men each year, the King is pursuing a remedy for prostate enlargement. It added that His Royal Highness is in good spirits and will be admitted to hospital for a corrective procedure in the coming days. He will then attend hospital and receive care before returning to royal duties, with plans to resume official engagements after a short recovery period (Buckingham Palace, 2025).
The announcement stated that public meetings involving the 75-year-old monarch will be postponed for a brief period to allow for recovery. The update was issued from Kensington Palace, the official residence associated with the royal family, and noted that the King will receive treatment in London before heading back to Windsor for further care at home.
In related notes, it was mentioned that Catalina — described as the Princess of Wales — underwent abdominal surgery this Monday at a private London hospital, the London Clinic, and is expected to be discharged within ten to fourteen days before returning to Windsor for continued treatment (Royal Household communications, 2025). This account also referenced that it is unlikely the prince’s wife will marry in the near term, with William, the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, possibly resuming official duties before Easter (Royal Family statements, 2025).
