King Charles III Undergoes Surgery at London Hospital, Encourages Men to Get Checked Out

LONDON - Britain's King Charles III has been admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment, according to Buckingham Palace. The monarch entered the private clinic in Marylebone neighborhood of London after arriving back from Sandringham on Thursday. He was accompanied by his wife Queen Camilla and is expected to stay at the hospital for two nights as he recovers from surgery.

The palace has not said what specific treatment Charles will receive, but it did say that his condition is benign and that he wanted to make his diagnosis public in order to encourage more men to get checked out. The NHS England website received 26,170 visits within the first 48 hours after the announcement of Charles's surgery.

Prince Andrew was snapped driving away from Royal Lodge on Friday morning, just hours after Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles had been admitted to hospital. He showed little emotion as he headed out and drove his green Range Rover. It is not clear what specific treatment Prince Andrew will receive at the London Clinic where Kate Middleton is also being treated.

The palace has not said how long Charles will remain in the hospital, but it did say that he was delighted to learn that his diagnosis had a positive impact on public health awareness. The monarch's surgery comes after Queen Elizabeth II passed away last year and Prince William became King.
