The news about the Royal Family doesn’t stop. A few hours ago it was announced that Princess Kate (42) had to undergo a planned procedure: Prince William’s wife (41) had an operation on her stomach and now has to stay in the hospital for a few weeks. But she is not the only one from the British royal family: Charles will also have to undergo surgery soon.
This is now reported by the BBC. Accordingly, Buckingham Palace announced that the monarch had to undergo surgery because of a benign prostate disease. It is a “corrective intervention”. “Like thousands of men every year, the King was treated for an enlarged prostate,” it continues. Therefore, King Charles will be out for a short time and will not be able to take on any royal duties. More precise circumstances are not yet known.
The palace recently announced on Princess Kate and William’s official Instagram account that Kate was in the hospital. “Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to hospital yesterday for planned abdominal surgery. The operation was successful,” the statement read.
