What’s behind it? The British royals are currently in quick succession – it was just announced that Princess Kate (42) had to have an operation on her stomach a few days ago and has been in the hospital ever since. However, Prince William’s wife (41) is not alone in this: King Charles III too. (75) has to undergo surgery next week for a benign prostate disease. But why did Charles make this intimate diagnosis public?
As People reports, there is reportedly a specific reason behind the revelation of his current prostate condition. It is therefore assumed that the 75-year-old shared his diagnosis with the world in order to encourage men with the same symptoms. Charles also wanted to draw attention to the fact that he should have himself examined.
Just a few hours ago, BBC reported that Charles’ operation was a “corrective procedure.” “Like thousands of men every year, he too king had to be treated for an enlarged prostate,” said an official statement from Buckingham Palace.
