King Charles has been given an extended hospital stay after undergoing a prostate revision procedure last week, OK reports.
The King was operated on at London’s Marylebone Hospital – the same hospital where the Princess of Wales is following abdominal surgery. He was previously expected to spend two nights there, however, he will now stay a third night under the care of doctors.
Queen Camilla visited Charles several times over the weekend, including three times on Sunday. The news that he will stay another night has sparked fresh fears for his health. A Buckingham Palace spokesman previously said the King had been “admitted to a London hospital for routine treatment”. They added:
His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.
A source told The Sun:
It is understood that Charles would only stay in hospital for longer than two nights if there was some kind of unexpected issue. The extra stay is entirely precautionary but has nevertheless reportedly caused some unease.
King Charles was diagnosed with the illness on 17 January in Birkhall, Aberdeenshire, after seeing a doctor due to feeling unwell.
He had to cancel his plans for the coming month to recover from surgery. Buckingham Palace revealed earlier this month that he was to undergo a “corrective procedure” for a harmless problem, but did not say how long he would be in hospital or how long it would take to recover.
Many fans of the royal family believe that the palace, shared this news to get more men to go and get checked out. It seems their plan worked because after the news of Charles’ surgery became public, there was an increase in the number of those who started looking for information about his prostate problems.
