On Monday, King Charles III waved to onlookers as he left London’s London Clinic, a private hospital near Regent’s Park.
Charles III, aged 75, was being treated for an enlarged prostate. This benign condition is very common in men over 50. He was hospitalized for only three nights. He was then discharged from hospital and must undergo a period of private convalescence.
This means, however, that he will have to postpone several public appearances.
In a statement, the Palace thanked all those who helped him during his stay.
Queen Camilla, who had visited him daily during his stay in hospital, could be seen at his side as he left.
Camilla assured him that he was well and ready to resume his duties.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sent his best wishes to the King, wishing him a speedy recovery.
The announcement of Charles’ discharge came just hours after confirmation of that of Kate Middleton, who was also recently hospitalized.
The Duchess underwent abdominal surgery, but Kensington Palace did not reveal the exact reason.
