Upon Queen Elizabeth II’s demise on September 8, 2022, Charles ascended to the throne, becoming Britain’s oldest monarch and the longest-serving heir apparent.
Despite generally good health, having faced two bouts of coronavirus and sporting injuries in his youth, King Charles III is now undergoing treatment for benign prostate enlargement, a common condition in men over 50, unrelated to cancer and typically not a serious threat.
Symptoms include frequent urination and difficulty emptying the bladder, with hormonal changes in aging believed to be a potential cause, according to Britain’s National Health Service.
The palace released the statement about King Charles III’s health shortly after revealing that the Princess of Wales, wife of William, Prince of Wales, is expected to spend two weeks in the hospital and undergo several months of recuperation following successful abdominal surgery at a private clinic in central London.
