King Charles in London for Prostate Surgery

Public engagements postponed as monarch prepares for operation, sparking surge in public interest about enlarged prostates.

King Charles has returned to London from Sandringham ahead of a planned operation to correct an enlarged prostate.
The King's condition is benign and he will need several weeks' rest from public engagements after the surgery, but intends to resume his full schedule once he has a clean bill of health.
The King's decision to share details of his medical condition led to a surge in the public seeking information about enlarged prostates, with NHS England reporting a significant increase in visits to its 'enlarged prostate' page.
The King's surgery announcement came on the same day that Kensington Palace confirmed that the Princess of Wales had undergone abdominal surgery.
Despite the King's presence in London, the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom is being flown over Buckingham Palace, indicating that the monarch is in residence.
